Abstract:

A method for the determination of urotropine in rice noodles by ultra performance liquid chromatography-stable
isotope dilution mass spectrometry was developed. The mathematical model of uncertainty evaluation was established
after the sources of uncertainty were systematically analyzed. Based on each uncertainty of the key factors during the
analysis process, the combined and expanded uncertainties were evaluated. When the measurement result of urotropine was
0.821 mg/kg, the expanded uncertainty was 0.079 mg/kg (k = 2). This study can provide a reference basis for the uncertainty
evaluation of isotope dilution mass spectrometry.

Key words: stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry, uncertainty, rice noodles, urotropine
