Patent number: 10472484Abstract: Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are materials exhibiting molecular recognition of a target molecule. MIPs are synthesized in the presence of an aflatoxin template, a mimic to the targeted molecule, used as an imprint that is further washed away with suitable solvent after completion of the polymerization process, leaving a cavity in the polymer of the same stereochemistry, functionality and morphology to the template. When the MIP encounters an aflatoxin, the molecule is bound in the cavity with a receptor-like affinity.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Alltech, Inc.Inventors: Alexandros Yiannikouris, Thirupathi R.
