Abstract: A new method has been developed for determination of trace iron,based on the discoloration of bromcresol purple by hydrogen peroxide in H2SO4 solution under the catalysis of iron(Ⅲ).The linear range of the method is 0.05~0.6μg iron(Ⅲ)/25 ml,and the apparent molar absorptivity is 8.36×105L/mol·cm.The method has been applied to determine trace iron(Ⅲ)in monosodium glutamate with satisfactory results.

Key words: catalytic spectrophotometric, iron, bromcresol purple, hydrogen peroxide
