The Greek “εύ” and “τήξις” term is the root of the “eutectic” word that refers to the low melting of mixture. Generally, an eutectic solvent depicts a mixture of components (at least one is in solid phase) that under particular ratios weak molecular interactions allow to obtain a mixture having melting point at a much lower temperature than that of each component (García-Álvarez 2019). Although A. P. Abbott et al. discovered the deep eutectic solvents and provided the fundamental study of DESs, the prominent eutectic mixtures such as honey and syrup have been used in daily life for ages. As it is already known, DESs consist of at least two components that can provide hydrogen-bond interactions (Abbott et al. 2003).
