Macroporous Resin-Based Purification of Flavonoids: Quantitative Structure–Adsorption Relationships and a Preliminarily Validated Selection Framework

Macroporous adsorption resins (MARs) are widely used for preparative-scale flavonoid purification, yet rational resin selection remains difficult because flavonoids differ substantially in hydrophobicity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, molecular size, and planarity. This review reorganizes the available literature into a structure-guided and data-supported selection aid rather than a fully predictive model.
