Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) Research Framework: Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Aims: The Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) method is an extraction method currently being developed using affordable green solvents with low cytotoxicity. This research aims to (a) identify developments in NADES research, and (b) develop research gaps for NADES for future research. Study Design: This research was conducted using bibliometric analysis. Place and Duration of Study: Library sources refer to research articles available online that can be accessed via websites or search engines by entering specific keywords related to the topic. Methodology: A research approach using quantitative methods was carried out using bibliometric analysis. Data analysis using bibliometric analysis of “Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents” sourced by article tittle, abstract, and keywords that produced 1,045 Scopus documents. Results: The results show a growing research trend in NADES, but there are still several gaps that need to be addressed as mentioned in the proposed research framework. Conclusion: Future research should focus on more comprehensive comparisons, more detailed method explanations, deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms, and long-term stability evaluations to improve the applicability of NADES in various fields. This paper contributes to the development of NADES.
