Abstract

This study aims to address the challenge of detoxifying ginkgolic acid and transform it from waste into a valuable resource. By using pseudo-template molecular imprinting technology to chemically modify polysaccharide materials, we developed a polysaccharide-based molecular imprinted material (MMCC-CD/CS-MIP) for the targeted separation and controlled release of ginkgolic acid. Under optimal conditions, MMCC-CD/CS-MIP demonstrated excellent adsorption performance (Qmax = 47.786 mg g-1) and desorption performance (QD = 42.33 mg g-1), with a desorption rate of 88.58 %. In addition, the material exhibited outstanding selectivity, stability, recyclability, antibacterial activity, and sustained-release properties, with a cumulative release rate of 95.57 % over 72 h. The release data followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, while the adsorption behavior fit a multi-layer heterogeneous adsorption model (Freundlich model) and conformed to a second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed that the adsorption of ginkgolic acid by MMCC-CD/CS-MIP is both feasible and spontaneous. MMCC-CD/CS-MIP provides a promising solution for the detoxification of medicinal components.
