The present study presents an attempt to modify the surface properties of macroporous resins (MRs) in order to improve anthocyanin adsorption and desorption from Pyrus communis var Starkrimson fruit peel extract. A number of MRs were tested to optimise the ultrasonic-assisted adsorption (UAA) conditions; including ultrasonic power (100–400 W), resin-to-extract ratio (1–3 g/50 mL) and temperature (20–40 °C). Similarly, varying ultrasonic-assisted desorption (UAD) conditions were optimised; including ultrasonic power (200–600 W), resin-to-solvent ratio (1–4 g/50 mL), ethanol concentration (60–90% v/v) and temperature (20–40 °C). The Amberlyst 15 (H) cationic resin was found to be superior to the other tested resins. The maximum adsorption capacity (659 µg/g) of cyanidin 3-galactoside (Cy 3-gal) was achieved under the optimised UAA conditions (400 W, 20 °C and 1 g/50 mL), while 616 µg/g of Cy 3-gal was recovered under the optimised UAD conditions (582 W, 1 g/50 mL, 60% and 20 °C). Moreover, titratable-acid and total-sugar contents were found to be significantly lower under UAA than under conventional-assisted adsorption (CAA). ANOVA revealed that process factors had significant effects on the Cy 3-gal purification, as depicted by their linear, quadratic and interactive effects. While anthocyanin adsorption was found to be significantly improved at lower ultrasonic power, higher power promoted the desorption process. Adsorption under optimized UAA conditions followed pseudo second-order kinetics and multilayer adsorption (Freundlich isotherm) onto the Amberlyst 15 (H) resin surface was observed. The particle-size distribution curve and scanning electron microscopic images also revealed higher resin-surface roughness, peeling and the appearance of pores on the surface under ultrasonication. This is the first study to use ultrasonication to modify a cationic exchange resin for the improvement of Cy 3-gal purification from a fruit extract. This study can recommend the use of ultrasonication as a low-cost green technique that can improve macroporous resin characteristics for better purification of compounds from an extract.

It is established that, in this concentration range, the uptake occurs by the impact recombination mechanism, whereas the consumption of surface sites involves the unimolecular decomposition of stabilized surface complexes. Several hundreds of NO 3 radicals are consumed per surface site destroyed. The uptake coefficient depends on the exposure time, being described by the expression γ(t) = γ 0 exp(−t/τ), where γ 0 and τ are parameters dependent on the NO 3 concentration. Based on the Langmuir adsorption concept, the following elementary parameters determining the uptake process are estimated: the Langmuir coefficient, K L = 7.1 × 10 −13 cm 3 ; the desorption rate constant, k d = 44 s −1 ; and the rate constant for the unimolecular heterogeneous conversion of surface complexes, k r = 6.6 × 10 −2 s −1 . Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry measurements showed that the main products of the reaction are phthalates. The nitropyrene yield is found to be ~0.6%.
