Abstract: A new method to determine iodine in eggs by indirect atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) was established. Based on the reduction of Cu2+ by ascorbic acid to Cu+ for precipitation between Cu+ and I-, Cu residue in the supernatant was determined and calculated to obtain iodine content in eggs. The reaction was carried out using 0.8 mL of 1000 μg/mL ascorbic acid solution in pH 4.0 potassium hydrogen phthalate buffer at 30 ℃, and the centrifugation time was 10 min. This method was simple and rapid and had a wide linear range. The detection limit was 1.0 μg/mL. Satisfying results were obtained in the determination of iodine in actual samples by this method.

Key words: indirect atomic absorption spectrometry, egg, iodine
