The same protocol applied to the extraction of monolaurin/C12mimBF4 mixture was not so simple. The addition of water led to a heterogeneous solid gel at room temperature, which was unable to release the MAGs. So, SLIL was precipitated in dodecane at 10°C and the products were isolated after cooling and centrifuging the upper phase at 0°C (Figure 9.9). Even though the use of organic solvents would not normally be considered in a completely green process, dodecane presents lower volatility than other, more widely used organic coadjuvants, such as hexane or octane, indeed, it can be totally recovered for reuse, avoiding its release to the environment.

An increase to nine compounds detected for the intracellular metabolites after four weeks indicated further evidence of intracellular transformation. The compounds present were isoalkanes such as Dodecane and n-alkanes such as 2,4-dimethyldodecane. Tetradecane was common to both intracellular and extracellular metabolites. Eicosane was the most prominent intracellular metabolite with a total area % value of 29.50. The least abundant compound was 2,4-dimethyldodecane with an area % value of 2.22.
