Özet
<p>Ionic liquids (ILs) as well as closely related deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been the most promising dis-</p><p>coveries in the “Green Chemistry” world in recent years as types of solvents. Deep eutectic solvents are received</p><p>as potential alternatives to the conventional organic solvents with other advantages such as renewability,</p><p>reusability, biodegradability, nontoxicity, large-scale availability, having very low vapour pressure, low flam-</p><p>mability and easy in preparation. Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymers in the nature that can be</p><p>extracted from many aquatic and terrestrial organisms also some of the microorganisms. Chitin and its de-</p><p>rivatives have applications in many fields such as medical, food-beverages, agriculture and cosmetics. This re-</p><p>view reports the major contributions of DESs in chitin and chitosan related studies and summarizes recent</p><p>advances in some applications such as extraction media, bio-film fabrication, nanomaterial preparation, chitosan</p><p>methylation, chitin dissolution, composite material preparation.</p>
