The skin, our body’s largest organ, covers almost the entire surface of the human body and thus serves as an extremely vital and defensive barrier against dehydration and other environmental factors.

Abstract In this work, three deep eutectic mixtures (DES1: choline chloride:urea; DES2: choline chloride: glycerol; and DES3: tetrabutylammonium bromide:imidazole) were investigated as mediums for the synthesis of glucose laurate and glucose acetate. Aiming to achieve a greener and more sustainable approach, the synthesis reactions were catalyzed by lipases from Aspergillus oryzae (LAO), Candida rugosa (LCR), and porcine pancreas (LPP).
