“…About the quantification of QCT, some recent and relevant reports include the exploitation of a graphite oxide and ionic liquid modified electrode (Jiuji et al, 2013), or the use of Ag nanoparticles/1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide based β-cyclodextrin/epichlorhydrin composite electrode (Franzoi et al, 2010). On the other hand, the exploitation of ionic liquids (ILs) for the extraction of phenolic compounds from herbal products (Liu et al, 2014) and medicinal plants (Xu et al, 2012;Bogel-Lukasik et al, 2010a;Zhu et al, 2011) has been demonstrated during the past few years. In fact, ILs can create various types of interactions with substrates and organic compounds, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals, dipole-dipole, dispersive and electrostatic forces being the most common of these interactions (Bogel-Lukasik et al, 2010a;Bogel-Lukasik et al, 2010b;Bogel-Lukasik et al, 2010c;Domanska & Bogel-Lukasik, 2005).…”
