Biologically active compounds from several useful plants were enriched using foam fractionation, aseparatory method belonging to the adsorptive bubble separation (ABS). Nonpolar humulones (1-6) fromPilsener beer, curcuminoids (7-9) from turmeric, and carotenoids (16 and 17) from carrot juice wereenriched fast and quantitatively, depending on the process parameters, whereas more polar compoundssuch as catechins from green tea (11, 12, 14, and 15) and naringin (18) and hesperidin (19) from orangeand grapefruit juices could not be enriched.
