General description

Cholin acetate is a choline-derivative-based ionic liquid (IL), which can efficiently dissolve microcrystalline cellulose. This bioionic liquid can be prepared by reacting choline hydroxide with acetic acid.

Application

Cholin acetate in combination with glycerol, a hydrogen-bond donor forms a eutectic ionic liquid mixture, which is less viscous, biodegradable and also shows high lipase compatibility. This eutectic ionic liquid mixture can be a desirable solvent for the enzymatic production of biodiesel.

The enzymatic preparation of biodiesel has been hampered by the lack of suitable solvents with desirable properties such as high lipase compatibility, low cost, low viscosity, high biodegradability, and ease of product separation. Recent interest in using ionic liquids (ILs)
