TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview in order to up-to-date knowledge regarding NADES with special emphasis on their analytical applications and further perspectives as truly green solvents.

TL;DR: This review presents an overview of knowledge regarding sustainability of NADES-based extraction procedures, focused on reported literature within the timeframe spanning from 2011 up to date, and includes a critical analysis to clarify whether the use of NADes as extraction media is enough for greening an analytical methodology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-concentration and determination methodology for mercury at trace levels in water samples was developed, which was successfully applied to the determination of mercury in tap water samples, at pH 9.2 mediated by micelles of the nonionic surfactant polyethyleneglycolmono-p-nonylphenylether (PONPE 5).

TL;DR: An environmentally friendly method for the phenolic compound extraction from agro-food industrial by-products was developed in order to contribute with their sustainable valorization and opens interesting perspectives for their potential use as vehicles of bioactive compounds as food additives or pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: The implementation of a new method for the determination of melatonin in complex food matrices by CEC with immobilized carboxylic multi‐walled carbon nanotubes as stationary phase is demonstrated, showing high electrochromatographic resolution, good capillary efficiencies and improved sensitivity respect to those obtained with conventional capillaries.
