Abstract: A method to determine the volatile basic nitrogen in fish and meat by reflectance spectroscopy is reported. The velative standard deriation for the determination 5 μg/ml N is 2. 6% (n = 6)The linear range and the detection limit are 1-8μg/ml, 0. 5μg/ml, respectively. This method has beenapplied in examination of fresh pork and fresh fish with satisfactory results.

Key words: Food analysis, Volatile basic nitrogen, Reflectance spectroscopy
