In this study, morin magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (Morin-MMIPs) were synthesized based on magnetic nanoparticles and surface molecularly imprinted technology with superparamagnetism and extraction selectivity. The polymers allowed the separating of morin from complex matrices in the presence of an external magnetic field with no need for centrifugation or filtration. The microstructure of the polymers was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, the functional group and magnetic properties of the polymers were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and magnetic vibration meter (VSM).

Phthalates represent a potential risk for humans, since they are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Efficient extraction and purification procedures are demanded for the detection of low concentration levels of phthalates. In this work, a novel type of molecularly imprinted polymers coated onto the surface of vinyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes was synthesized and coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the selective separation and determination of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) in beverage samples. The morphology, structure property, and thermostability of the resultant polymers were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The adsorption properties of the prepared polymers were investigated by equilibrium rebinding and competitive experiments. The resultant imprinted nanomaterials exhibited high capacity and favorable selectivity. In addition, the feasibility of the developed method using the obtained imprinted polymers as a solid-phase sorbent coupled with GC/MS for the selective isolation and determination of DOP in different beverage samples was demonstrated. Under optimal conditions, the limit of detection of the proposed method for DOP was 2.3 ng L^?1.

BACKGROUND: Olaquindox, one of the antimicrobial growth accelerants, is usually used as a feed additive in livestock production to improve feed efficiency. Due to health concerns over possible carcinogenic, mutagenic and photoallergenic effects of olaquindox on animals, the development of a simple, rapid and sensitive analytical method for determination of olaquindox is crucial and necessary. RESULTS: In this paper, a novel and hydrophilic functionalised material of olaquindox‐imprinted polymer was synthesised in aqueous solution by a surface molecular imprinting in combination with a sol–gel process. This imprinted material was characterised by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, and static and kinetic adsorption experiments, and results showed that it had good recognition and selective ability, and fast adsorption‐desorption dynamics for olaquindox.

The limit of detection (LOD) based on three times ratio of signal to noise was 0.11 μg l^?1. Under optimal conditions, the proposed method was applied to the analysis of BPA in fish samples. The amount of BPA in bream was 4.00 μg kg^?1, and both concentrations of BPA in crucian and weever were below the LOD. The recoveries of BPA standard solution spiked with fish samples were in the range of 92.56–102.3 % with the relative standard deviation less than 10 %.

Rapid Analysis of Bitertanol in Agro-products Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers-Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

In this work, we first reported molecularly imprinted polymers-surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MIP-SERS) for rapid detection and quantification of bitertanol in cucumber and peaches. In order to remove interference-mitigation effects and avoid template leakage, MIPs were successfully synthesized based on triadimefon molecules as the dummy template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) as a cross-linker, and 2,2-azobis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Static adsorption experiments and Scatchard analysis were then conducted and results showed that the synthesized MIPs could rapidly and selectively adsorb and separate bitertanol from cucumber and peaches due to their predetermined recognition sites. The capacity of MIPs for absorbing bitertanol (～ 2.21 mg/g) was approximately 1.5 times that of non-imprinted polymers (NIPs) (～ 1.55 mg/g). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized by sodium citrate reduction method were validated as a suitable SERS colloid for enhancing Raman signals. SERS spectral peaks (760, 985, 1190, and 1279 cm^?1) were used to develop quantitative analysis based on partial least-squares regression (PLSR) for bitertanol in cucumber and peaches. The LODs for this method were 0.041 and 0.029 mg/kg in cucumber and peaches, respectively. The entire analysis process required 15 min or less. More importantly, the MIP-SERS system provided not only a rapid, sensitive, and reliable method for bitertanol detection, but also a routine for overcoming the interference-mitigation effects in the SERS technology.

Rapid determination of Alternaria mycotoxins in tomato samples by pressurised liquid extraction coupled to liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection

ABSTRACT

A sensitive and reliable method using pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) followed by molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) and high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC–FLD) has been developed for the analysis of alternariol (AOH) and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) in tomato samples. Influence of several extraction parameters that affect PLE efficiency were evaluated for the simultaneous extraction of both mycotoxins in the selected samples. AOH and AME were optimally extracted using MeOH/water (25:75, v/v) at 70°C as solvent, a pressure of 1000 psi and a single extraction cycle. The resulting PLE extracts were pre-concentrated by molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) cartridges followed of analysis by HPLC with fluorescence detection (λ_exc = 258, λ_em = 440 nm). The proposed method was applied to the analysis of AOH and AME in fortified tomato samples (20–72 µg· kg–1) with recoveries of 84–97% (RSD < 8%, n = 6) for AOH and 67–91% (RSD < 13%, n = 6) for AME. The detection limit for AOH and AME were 7 and 15 µg· kg^–1, respectively. The ensuing PLE–MISPE–HPLC–FLD method was validated for the analysis of both mycotoxins in tomato samples in accordance with European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.     

Development of an on-line molecularly imprinted chemiluminescence sensor for determination of trace olaquindox in chick feeds

BACKGROUND: Olaquindox, as one of the antimicrobial growth accelerants, is usually used in livestock production to improve feed efficiency. Due to health concerns over possible carcinogenic, mutagenic and photoallergenic effects of olaquindox on animals, the development of simple, rapid and sensitive analytical method for determination of olaquindox is crucial and necessary. RESULTS: In this study, a surface molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared by a molecular imprinting technique in combination with a sol‐gel process using activated silica gel as a support material. This imprinted material exhibited with good recognition and selective ability, and fast adsorption‐desorption dynamics toward olaquindox. Using it as the recognition element, a new on‐line molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction coupled with chemiluminescence sensor for the determination of olaquindox was developed. The factors affecting preconcentration of the analytes and sensitivity of the method were all investigated. Under the optimal condition, the linear range of the calibration graph was between 2 × 10^?8 and 1 × 10^?6 g mL^?1, and the detection limit of this method was 7 × 10^?9 g mL^?1. The blank chick feed samples spiked with olaquindox at 0.3, 0.9 and 1.5 µg g^?1 levels were extracted and determined by this presented method with recoveries ranging from 87% to 94%. This method was validated by high‐performance liquid chromatography and the results correlated well with those obtained by both methods. Moreover, this method was quantitatively analysed with two contaminated chick feed samples. CONCLUSION: This study will provide a sensitive and fast method for the monitoring of olaquindox residues in foods. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry
