description We aimed to purify polyphenols from distiller&#8217;s grain extract using macroporous resins and to identify its polyphenolic components. The influence of operational parameters on purification efficiency was investigated. The polyphenolic composition was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) and then quantified by UPLC-MS using authenticated standards. The results showed that the optimal purifying conditions were D101 resin with a dosage of 3 g, four hours adsorption, three hours desorption time, and 60% ethanol as the eluent, producing the highest purification rate of 51%. The purified distiller&#8217;s grain extract exhibited stronger antioxidant activity than the unpurified extracts, which was assessed using DPPH and ABTS methods (IC<sub>50</sub> DPPH = 34.03 and 16.21 &#956;g/mL, respectively; IC<sub>50</sub> ABTS = 20.31 and 5.73 &#956;g/mL, respectively). UPLC-MS results indicated that (&#8722;)-epicatechin is the major compound found in distiller&#8217;s grain extract which was quantified as 562.7 &#956;g/g extract, followed by ferulic acid (518.2 &#956;g/g), <i>p</i>-hydroxybenzoic acid (417.7 &#956;g/g), caffeic acid (217.1 &#956;g/g), syringic acid (158.0 &#956;g/g) and quercetin (147.8 &#956;g/g). Two compounds, vanillic acid (66.5 &#956;g/g) and gallic acid (41.4 &#956;g/g), were found in lower concentrations. The findings of this study suggest that purification of polyphenolic compounds from distiller&#8217;s grain by macroporous resins is feasible, providing a new and effective method for the secondary use of distiller&#8217;s grain resources.
