Abstract
Materials that provides specificity to a molecule of interest are relevant and needed in analytical chemistry. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a material that is highly specific to a template (molecule of interest). Incorporating MIP into the appropriate detection system results in good specificity and sensitivity for template determination. MIPs are suitable for various applications ranging from small to large molecules due to their chemical and physical resistance, inexpensive synthesis, and ease of preparation. Lipid-soluble vitamins (LSVs) participate in metabolic processes to support the normal functions of the human body. Inappropriate levels of vitamins lead to malfunctions, resulting in diseases. This mini-review summarizes the progression of each lipid-soluble vitamin-imprinted polymer from 2003 to 2022. Moreover, the challenges and future perspectives of LSV-MIP are discussed.
