Reaction Steps

50 g of mesoporous polymer beads having a size of 10 nm and made of polymethylmethacrylate crosslinked with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate was added to ethanol in a 5 L beaker, was stirred for 40 minutes or more using an agi mixer, was mixed with 2 g of butylated hydroxytoluene, and was then dissolved to prepare a first mixed solution. Subsequently, 40 g of retinal (vitamin A) was added to the first mixed solution, was completely dissolved, was mixed with purified water, and was then stirred for 5 minutes or more to prepare a second mixed solution. Subsequently, the second mixed solution was filtered under reduced pressure to obtain retinol-adsorbed mesoporous polymer beads, and then the retinol-adsorbed mesoporous polymer beads were vacuum-dried at 45° C. (yield: 96.78%).
