“…Thus, the adsorption process is preferred because it is a low-cost separation technique, applicable for industrial scale processes, with high adsorption capacities, possible recovery of the adsorbed molecules and easy regeneration (Abdelkreem, 2013;Kammerer et al, 2011;Soto et al, 2011). Resins have been applied for the adsorption of phenolic compounds and hydroxytyrosol from olive oil mill wastewater (Agalias et al, 2007;Frascari et al, 2016;Petrotos et al, 2016Petrotos et al, , 2013, hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol from fermentation brine wastewater (Ferrer-Poloniom et al, 2016), spinacetin and patuletin from spinach leaves (Aehle et al, 2004), polyphenols from kiwifruit juice (Gao et al, 2013), limonin and naringin from orange juice (Ribeiro et al, 2002), hesperidin from orange peel (Di Mauro et al, 1999), anthocyanins from roselle (Chang et al, 2012), narirutin from a water-extract of Citrus unshiu peels (Kim et al, 2007), genistein and apigenin from extracts of pigeon pea roots (Liu et al, 2010), anthocyanins and hydroxycinnamates from orange juice (Scordino et al, 2005), chlorogenic acid and apigenin-7-O-glucoside from artichoke wastewaters (Conidi et al, 2015), catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate and caffeine from green tea (Jin et al, 2015; MARK 2016), catechins and theaflavins from black tea (Monsanto et al, 2015). The study of plant extracts is complex due to the interactions of other plant constituents, which could has an impact on phenolic binding (Bretag et al, 2009;Kammerer et al, 2010).…”
