“…In addition, these non-ionic resins have been used in the analysis of terpenoid constituents of grape aroma from juices and wines (Gunata et al, 1985), in the isolation of octane 1,4-diol from apple juice (Schwab el al., 1989) and for debittering grapefruit juices by the adsorption of naringin and limonin (Shaw and Buslig, 1986;Wilson et al, 1989;Johnson and Chandler, 1982, 1988. In addition the resin Amberlite XAD-2 has been used recently in the analysis of flavonoids from honey and fruit jams (Ferreres et af., 1991;Tomas-Lorente et al, The aim of the present work was, firstly, a comparative study of the recovery of flavonoids from water extracts adsorbed by the different Amberlite XAD resins available in the market and, secondly, a study of the possibilities of differential desorption of the ad-…”
