Abstract: The sources of uncertainty in the spectrophotometric determination of nitrite in Chinese cabbage were investigated by analyzing whole determination procedure. Each uncertainty component was modeled, synthesized and developed a method for the evaluation of uncertainty in spectrophotometric determination of nitrite in Chinese cabbage. The uncertainty was attributed to four sources. The order of their impacts was measurement repeatability, nitrite mass determined by standard curve, sample dilution and sample weighting. The results of uncertainty evaluation showed the nitrite content to be (12.3 ± 1.08) mg/kg (k = 2).

Key words: nitrite, uncertainty, spectrophotometry
