This work describes the utilization of microwave hydrothermal extracted malic acid from cactus, lophatherum herb, papaya and Luffa cylindrica as hydrogen bond donor for the synthesis of natural low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) with sucrose as hydrogen bond acceptor. The effects of paramet...
