Novel and existing terpenes are already being produced by genetically modified microorganisms, leading to new process challenges for the isolation and purification of these terpenes. Here, eight different chromatographic resins were characterized for the packed bed adsorption of the model terpene β-caryophyllene, showing their applicability on an fermentation mixture. The polystyrenic Rensa RP (Ø 50 μm) shows the highest affinity, with a maximum capacity of >100 g L and the best efficiency, with a height equivalent of a theoretical plate (HETP) of 0.
