title: Selective solid-phase extraction of dibutyl phthalate from soybean milk using molecular imprinted polymers.
abstract: An analysis method is reported for dibutyl phthalate and related compounds with high selectivity and sensitivity by using the selective molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) technique. In this report, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is employed as the template molecule, and the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthesized through the bulk polymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA). The Scatchard plot suggests that the template-polymer system has two-site binding behavior with the dissociation constants of 0.5187 and 0.01898 mmol L(-1), respectively. The rebinding test, based on the MISPE column technique, shows the recoveries of soybean milk samples spiked with 5 phthalates are in the range of 75.8-107.5% with the relative standard deviations of 1.80-10.08%, indicating the feasibility of the prepared MIPs for phthalates extraction. Finally, the method is used to analyze the trace level of phthalates in commercial soybean milk.
