Glycerol-containing DESs enhance the activity and stability more than urea-based DESs. The effects of DESs on activity and stability of lipase were partially correlated with the solvatochromic parameters. For example, the stability of lipase was correlated with hydrogen bond acidity of DESs mixtures
