Method development of quercitrin enrichment from asthma-plant (Euphorbia hirta L.) using aromatic macroporous resin

Asthma-plant contains high amount of quercitrin which make it a potential new source for flavonoids. This study aims to develop method enrichment by utilizing macroporous resin, is known be safer, more eco-friendly, economics, and efficient. Evaluations were conducted over the performance separation characteristics resin in as well adsorption desorption resin. The results showed that process relation extract accordance with second order model, means affected other compounds. Furthermore, examination isotherm fit Freundlich’s model (R2 = 0.9850) rather than Langmuir’s one 0.4334). In optimal condition, using increased abundance nearly five times, from 3.60% content 17.02% quercitrin-rich fraction, recovery yield 50.39%.
