A switchable-hydrophilicity solvent system, consisting of a fatty acid-based natural deep eutectic solvent
(NaDES), complemented by a bio-friendly dilute amine solution, has been introduced. The potential of
the most benign switchable solvent system has been characterised in microalgae biorefining according
to the recently proposed ‘Circular Extraction’ scheme.
