Superparamagnetic core-shell dummy template molecularly imprinted polymer for magnetic solid-phase extraction of food additives prior to the determination by HPLC

A highly sensitive and selective method for the simultaneous extraction and determination of trace vanillin, ethyl vanillin, maltol and ethyl maltol in beverage samples using magnetic solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The novel superparamagnetic dummy template molecularly imprinted polymers (Fe3O4@MDMIP) were prepared by adopting a sol-gel approach using...
