Fauziah, St.; Soekamto, N. H.; Budi, P.; Taba, P. published the artcile< Adsorption capacity and selectivity of molecularly imprinted polymers towards β-sitosterol>, Reference of 3290-92-4, the main research area is molecularly imprinted polymer beta sitosterol adsorption solid phase extraction.
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) as an adsorbent has been synthesized using β-sitosterol as mol. template on free radical polymerization reaction. The capacity and selectivity of the adsorption from MIP to β-sitosterol was studied in this study. The β-sitosterol concentration in the adsorption-desorption test and the MIP selectivity test were analyzed by UV-visible and HPLC. The MIP obtained from the synthesis results in a high adsorption capacity. Based on the Freundlich adsorption isothermal equation, the adsorption capacity (k) was found to be 1.24 mg/g. The MIP can adsorb 100% β-sitosterol while cholesterol was only 3%. The MIP is most selective to β-sitosterol, therefore, has high potential to apply as adsorbent at solid phase extraction method to isolate β-sitosterol from sample extract
