Abstract: A fluorometric method based on molecularly imprinted upconversion fluorescence test strip was developed for the determination of tyramine. It exploited the green fluorescence of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the specific recognition property of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). UCNPs were attached to filter paper with glue, and MIPs were prepared via in situ polymerization on the surface of UCNPs by using tyramine as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker. The green fluorescence of the test strip, with excitation/emission wavelength 980/550 nm, was enhanced by tyramine. The test strip was suitable for the determination of tyramine in the linear range 1.0-100.0 mg L-1, and a relatively low limit of detection (0.2 mg L-1) was achieved. The test strip also worked well for the quantitation of tyramine in spiked red wine and mature vinegar. Recoveries are ranged from 84.9 to 99.9%. The relative standard deviations are below 5.6%
