Acacia dealbata biomass, either from forest exploitation or from the management of invasive species, can be a strategic topic, namely as a source of high-value compounds. In this sense, the present study aimed at the detailed characterization of the lipophilic components of different morphological parts of A. dealbata and the evaluation of their cytotoxicity in cells representative of different mammals' tissues...
In the past decade, the remarkable potential of ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABSs) to extract and purify a large range of valued-added biocompounds has been demonstrated. However, the translation of lab-scale experiments to an industrial scale has been precluded by a poor understanding of the molecular-level mechanisms ruling the separation or partition of target compounds between the c...
