Four NADESs were created by making combinations of choline chloride with citric acid, lactic acid, glycerol, and ethylene glycol. The study investigated the anthocyanins profile, antioxidant, and anti-sickling properties of fruit extracts that were obtained using NADESs. The examination of NADESs revealed that the hydrogen bond acceptors and donors had a substantial impact on the viscosity, pH, density, and chemical structure of the NADESs. The resulting extracts demonstrated the highest recovery rates, resulting in the greatest total phenolic content (35.05 ± 0.15 mg GAE/100 g) and total anthocyanin content (17.22 ± 0.296 mg CGE/100 g).
