Different molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared using non-covalent  4-vinylpyridine\/divinylbenzene co-polymerization at different ratios and dichloromethane as porogen. Imprinting was done with a template mixture of phenanthrene and pyrene yielding a broad-specific polymer for PAHs with a maximum binding capacity (Q) of ~32 \u03bcg B[a]P per 50 mg of polymer. The vegetable oil\/n-hexane mixture (1:1, (v\/v)) was  pre-extracted with acetonitrile, the solvent evaporated, the residue reconstituted in  n-hexane and subjected to MISPE. The successive washing with n-hexane and isopropanol revealed most suitable to remove lipid matrix constituents. After elution of bound PAHs from MISPE column with dichloromethane, the solvent was evaporated, the residue reconstituted with dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted 100-fold with methanol\/water (10:90, (v\/v)) for analysis of B[a]P equivalents with an ELISA. The B[a]P recovery rates in spiked vegetable oil samples of different fatty acid composition were determined between 63% and 114%. The presence of multiple PAHs in the oil sample, because of MIP selectivity and cross-reactivity of the ELISA, could yield overestimated B[a]P values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s140609720","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,30]],"date-time":"2014-05-30T12:00:34Z","timestamp":1401451234000},"page":"9720-9737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Analysis of Benzo[a]pyrene in Vegetable Oils Using Molecularly Imprinted Solid Phase Extraction (MISPE) Coupled with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Pschenitza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hydrochemistry and Chemical Balneology, Chair for Analytical Chemistry, Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Marchioninistrasse 17, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rudolf","family":"Hackenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundesamt f\u00fcr Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, Standort Marienfelde, Diedersdorfer Weg 1, 12277 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reinhard","family":"Niessner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hydrochemistry and Chemical Balneology, Chair for Analytical Chemistry, Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Marchioninistrasse 17, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dietmar","family":"Knopp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hydrochemistry and Chemical Balneology, Chair for Analytical Chemistry, Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, Marchioninistrasse 17, 81377 Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"417","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-9936(99)00111-9","article-title":"Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in natural waters: Sources, occurrence and analysis","volume":"18","author":"Manoli","year":"1999","journal-title":"TrAC Trends Anal.
