Which of the following is used for concentration of aqueous extracts of marine bioactive compounds? Correct Answer Freeze-drying
For concentration the aqueous extracts of marine bioactive compounds, freeze drying is used instead of evaporation (as in case of non-polar compounds). This is because sea water has high heat of vaporization and prolonged evaporation can lead to destruction of the activity of compounds.
