Scale-up of high performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC) method to obtain fucoxanthin from Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract. Biphasic solvent system: System 1, mixture of n-heptane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and water (ratio 5:5:6:3, v/v/v/v). Loading per injection: 240 mg of Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract dissolved in 3 mL of mobile phase (3 mL sample loop). (a) 3 mL/min of flow rate of the mobile phase. (b) 4 mL/min of flow rate of the mobile phase. Rotational speed: 1600 rpm. Column temperature: 30 °C. Detection: 450 nm.
