A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed for the determination of acid violet 19 (AV19) dye. The MIP was synthesized by polymerization using 1-vinyl imidazole (functional monomer) and 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) as the radical initiator. The functional monomer was previously selected by
