The invention discloses a
chemical test method of
potassium bromate in flour, modifying agent or food, which comprises (1),
processing sample composed of adding alkali into sample, heating and
ashing, dissolving in water, adding acid to adjust pH at 2-5, moving all solution into a centrifugal
pipe, controlling the pH value at 1-2, centrifugally treating and taking supernatant fluid, (2), testing
potassium bromate composed of adding the supernatant with oxidant, vibrating and adding
organic solvent, vibrating, laying and laminating, using
distilled water as blank, using spectrophotometer to check the light absorption value of the
organic solvent layer and indicating that the sample contains
potassium bromate when the light absorption value is not lower than 0.010. The oxidant is strong one and the
organic solvent is non-polar or weak-polar organic one. The invention provides a novel, simple, quick, sensitive and stable method for chemically checking
potassium bromate in flour, modifying agent or food.
