Title: Surface molecularly imprinted polymers prepared by two-step precipitation polymerization for the selective extraction of oleanolic acid from grape pomace extract. Author: Lu C, Tang Z, Liu C, Ma X. Journal: J Sep Sci; 2018 Sep; 41(17):3496-3502. PubMed ID: 30027558. Abstract: Surface molecularly imprinted polymers were successfully prepared by a novel two-step precipitation polymerization method. The first-step allowed the formation of 4-vinylpyridine divinylbenzene and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate copolymeric microspheres. In the second-step precipitation polymerization, microspheres were modified with a molecularly imprinting layer of oleanolic acid as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, and divinylbenzene/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker. The obtained polymers had an average diameter of 4.43 μm and a polydispersity index of 1.011; adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 40 min, with adsorption capacity reaching 27.4 mg/g. Subsequently, the polymers were successfully applied as the adsorbents of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction to separate and purify the oleanolic acid from grape pomace. The content of oleanolic acid in the grape pomace extract was enhanced from 13.4 to 93.2% after using the molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction process. This work provides an efficient way for effective oleanolic acid separation and enrichment from complex matrices, which is especially valuable in industrial production.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
