Seven DES formulations based on choline chloride (ChCl) and different hydrogen bond donors (glycerol, glucose, and organic acids) were prepared, and their performance was compared with water, ethanol, and ethanol\/water mixtures. The phenolic composition, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity of the extracts were determined using spectrophotometric assays (Folin\u2013Ciocalteu, DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) and ESI\u2013MS\/MS analysis. The results showed that DES exhibited higher efficiency in recovering total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and ABTS compared to conventional solvents, particularly in the ChCl\u2013glycerol system. ESI\u2013MS\/MS analyses monitored around 40 phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids, flavanones, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. Acidic solvents favored anthocyanin extraction and stability, while ethanol- and glycerol-based systems provided broader compound profiles. The use of DES proved to be a green and selective alternative for obtaining extracts rich in bioactive compounds, enhancing the value of ju\u00e7ara residues and contributing to the sustainability of the species production chain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants14233693","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,4]],"date-time":"2025-12-04T15:14:06Z","timestamp":1764861246000},"page":"3693","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Recovery of Bioactive Compounds from Ju\u00e7ara Palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.)
