Evaluation of Uncertainty in Determination of Sorbic Acid in Orange Juice by High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Objective:The uncertainty of determination of sorbic acid in orange juice by HPLC was evaluated to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.Method:The content of sorbic acid in two blind samples and quality control samples was determined by liquid chromatography,the first method in GB 5009.28-2016,and a mathematical model was established to calculate the synthesis standard uncertainty and extended uncertainty.Result:The sorbic acid content in sample 1 was(0.034 23±0.001 44)g·kg-1(k=2),and the sorbic acid content in sample 2 was(0.057 43±0.001 72)g·kg-1(k=2).Conclusion:The uncertainty in the determination result is mainly derived from the repeatability determination of high performance liquid chromatography,standard curve fitting and sorbic acid standard solution concentration.Therefore,these factors should be controlled during the sample determination to improve the accuracy of the determination results.
