Abstract
The process of separation of iridoids from the extract of gardenia fruit (Gardenia jasminoides Ellis) to obtuin the yellow pigments (mainly crocin) was the adsorption-desorption process by using polymeric adsorbent of Amberlite XAD16. 10 % (v/v) EtOH for the elution of iridoids and 50% (v/v) EtOH for the elution of crocin from the polymeric adsorbent of Amberlite XAD16 were used in the separation of crude extract of gardenia.
