Abstract As a highly selective, recoverable, and low‐cost process, macroporous resins (MPRs) are of interest for the purification of bioactive components from natural products. This guide takes super‐crosslinked MPR as an example, and focuses on application of macroporous adsorption resin in polysaccharide purification, including pretreatment and regeneration of macroporous adsorption resin, various factors affecting the adsorption effect of macroporous adsorption resin, and adsorption mechanism of resin.
