In the last couple of years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been raising a lot of attention mainly due to their versatility and their easy and speedy preparation without the need of further purification. Moreover, the vast array of very different compounds that can be selected for their preparation has led to the full tailoring of their relevant properties as solvents. We herein leave our opinion on the current challenges and opportunities in this blossoming field, which are curiously aligned with the scope of today's major concerns, where DESs are called to make a valuable contribution to important areas such as clean water, clean energy, and biotechnology.

- Review of Alternative Solvents for Green Extraction of Food and Natural Products: Panorama, Principles, Applications and Prospects (2019, background): “Besides all the advantages of DESs, NADESs are considered as environmentally friendly and ‘readily biodegradable’ due to the natural origin of their components [45,49], and consequently the obtained extracts can be safely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries [50].”
