“…Therefore, the aim of the present study was the development of an innovative process for polyphenol removal from sunflower protein extracts by adsorption and ion exchange processes. In continuation of previous studies several food-grade adsorbent and ion exchange resins should be evaluated (Bretag, Kammerer, Jensen & Carle, 2009a,b;Kammerer et al, 2007;Scordino, Di Mauro, Passerini & Maccarone, 2003Schieber, Hilt, Streker, Endress, Rentschler & Carle, 2003). In addition to the identification of the most suitable adsorbent material, process conditions should be systematically optimized on laboratory scale.…”
