A process is described for the preparation f electrostatically-linked, aliphatic- or alicyclic-substituted anionic or cationic polysaccharide gels from readily available macroporous ionic polysaccharide chromatographic media, such as diethylaminoethyl (DEAE), quaternary aminoethyl (QAE) and sulfopropyl (SP) substituted polysaccharide gels. These novel gels are used for the isolation, recovery and purification of non-polar extractives using one or more extracting solvents from the group of lower alcohols, ketones, and water. The non-polar extractives may be alk(n)lyresorcinols, steroid, triterpenoid, cardiac glycosides and saponins, steryl ferulates and other phenolic acid conjugates, flavonoids, lipids, alcohol-soluble antimicrobials, prolamines or other alcohol-soluble proteolipid complexes.
A method of preparing an electrostatically-linked, aliphatic or alicyclic-substituted anionic or cationic polysaccharide gel from a macroporous ionic polysaccharide chromatographic matrix comprising the steps of:
An electrostatically-linked, aliphatic- or alicyclic-substituted anionic or cationic polysaccharide gel comprising an ionic hydrophobic ligand electrostatically bonded to a macroporous ionic polysaccharide gel matrix, so that a substantial amount of the available ionic sites of the said ionic polysaccharide gel matrix are occupied by the ligand to form a modified hydrophobic phase component, wherein the ligand contains a strongly ionizable functional group of opposite charge to that of the said ionic polysaccharide gel matrix.
A method of isolating a non-polar extractive comprising:
