Determination of Nitrites in Commercial Sausages by Anthocyanins Degradation: Experimental Design and Optimization

With the purpose of obtaining the main factors in the nitrite quantification by bleaching Roselle anthocyanins, an experimental design (2³) was carried out. The control factors were ultrasound, time and temperature at two levels (-, +). Results for sausages analysis were obtained by the colorimetric method of AOAC 973.31, and the proposed spectrophotometric method. Statistical analysis show that results do not differ significantly. A better linear calibration range is obtained using this new method. The main advantage is the reagents that are used are cheaper.
