Surface-decorated graphene oxide sheets with nanoparticles of chitosan-Arabic gum for the separation of bioactive compounds: A case study for adsorption of crocin from saffron extract

Highlights Graphene oxide nanocomposites with chitosan-Arabic gum were synthesized. They were employed for the adsorption/purification of crocin from saffron. The nanocomposites separated 99.1% of crocin in an equilibrium time of 30 min.
