Due to the nonvolatility of deep eutectic solvents (DESs), the recycling and reuse of them is encountering a lot of problems in the extraction and separation field. In this study, temperature-switchable DESs (TS-DESs) were prepared and their temperature-responsive characteristics and phase diagram were studied. TS-DESs were further used as the recyclable extractants for extracting Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) below their lower critical solution temperature (LCST), and then they can be recovered from the extract above their LCST. The main factors influencing the extraction process were...
