    A new method allows direct, low-level nitrite determination in dried foods without extraction. This chemiluminescence technique accurately measures nitrite, crucial for food safety and quality analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Food Science

    Background:

    • Accurate determination of nitrite is essential for food safety and quality control.
    • Existing methods for nitrite analysis in dried matrices often require complex extraction procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a direct method for quantifying low levels of nitrite in dried food matrices.
    • To utilize chemiluminescence detection for enhanced sensitivity and efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel chemiluminescence-based method was devised for direct nitrite determination.
    • Nitrite was converted to nitric oxide using acetic acid and subsequently measured.
    • The method was validated for its limit of detection and coefficients of variation.

    Main Results:

    • The method achieved a limit of detection of approximately 0.02 micrograms.
    • Coefficients of variation were 5.7% and 8.2% for specific sodium nitrite concentrations.
    • Successful application to freeze-dried cod fish demonstrated direct nitrite quantification.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a direct and sensitive approach for nitrite analysis in dried foods.
    • This technique simplifies sample preparation, making it suitable for routine food analysis.
    • The method's accuracy was confirmed through application to a real food matrix.
