Selective Automated Solid Phase Extraction of Patulin from Apple Products using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

This study describes the solid phase extraction of Patulin from apple juice using a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) SPE cartridge that is specific for Patulin (AFFINIMIP® Patulin) to further automates the SPE process. MIP has the advantages of being highly selective, specific, chemically and thermally stable, compatible with all solvents and cost‐effective.
