Abstract:
This study aimed to develop efficient adsorption and desorption processes to purify phenolic compounds from Ecklonia cava. We compared the adsorption and desorption properties of five resins. HP2MG showed the highest adsorption and desorption capacities and adsorption rate; hence, it was selected for phenolic compound purification. Adsorption isotherm parameters indicated favorable adsorption between HP2MG and phenolic compounds. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the absorption process physically proceeded. In the dynamic adsorption process, adsorption property was assessed based on bed length (4-10 cm) and flow rate (1.64-3.27 mL/min). The breakthrough point increased with increased bed length and decreased adsorption flow rate. However, the high desorption flow rate shortened the processing time. The phenolic contents, anti-glycation activity and antioxidant activity of the extract were measured before and after purification. The dieckol and phlorofucofuroeckol-A increased three times after purification. The purified extract showed higher anti-glycation and antioxidant activities than the extract.
