The invention relates to a method for quantitatively detecting L-
tartaric acid, which is characterized in that a Na2SO3-NaBrO3-K4Fe (CN) 6-H2SO4
clock system, namely a BSF
clock reaction system is used as a detection solution, and L-
tartaric acid with different concentrations is quantitatively detected according to different responses, namely different induction times, of the
system to the L-
tartaric acid with different concentrations. The
induction time difference
delta t is also different (
delta t is equal to the
induction time of the
clock system without adding the L-tartaric acid solution minus the
induction time of the clock system after adding the L-tartaric acid solution), and quantitative analysis of the L-tartaric acid is realized. The quantitative
analysis method for the L-tartaric acid has the characteristics of high accuracy, easiness in operation, convenience, rapidness and the like.
