Solid-phase extraction (SPE) has been established over the past decades as a powerful yet simple-to-use tool for sample pretreatment and isolation of compounds of interest, with its simplicity, customization possibilities, and broad spectrum of applications being the main reasons for its popularity. Molecular imprinting serves as the method of choice for the introduction of selective features to the stationary phase for SPE applications. Following synthetic protocols, such as noncovalent, covalent, and semi-covalent, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be prepared in various formats (bulk monoliths or monolithic rods, spherical particles, surface-imprinted or composite MIPs, etc.). The target analyte template is included as a component of the polymerization mixture, thus introducing memory to a three-dimensional polymer network in the final polymer material in the form of selective binding sites, capable of recognizing the target analyte of interest and extracting it from a complicated matrix. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have found applications in food analysis for sample pretreatment using solid-phase extraction, either offline or coupled in line with an HPLC separation column. The present review surveys the applications of MIPs in the analysis of food additives, food components, contaminants (especially pesticides), mineral and trace elements, and pharmaceuticals present in food products.

Additional Information: | Funding Information: Laurence Fitzhenry was born in Ireland and carried out his undergraduate studies at Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland, obtaining an honours degree in Applied Chemistry in 2007. He has received a full scholarship from the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology, and an Advanced Scholar scholarship from the institute, funding his PhD studies, currently being undertaken with the Pharmaceutical and Molecular Biotechnology Research Group, in Waterford Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Dr Peter McLoughlin and Dr Patrick Duggan. The focus of his postgraduate work is on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and their use in both drug delivery and selective sensing, with a particular focus on the molecular imprinting of steroids. |
