Abstract: In this paper,a new indirect method for determining tannins in tea by atomic absorption spectrometry is studied. Tannins in tea is extracted with mixed extractant of methyl isobutyl ketone(MIBK)and butyl alcohol and separated from the sample solution,then Cu3(PO4)2reagent is added to react with tannins in organic phase,the uncosumed reagent is centrifuged to subside, the Cu in supernatant is determined by AAS, and the concentration of tannins in tea is obtained. The interference of coexisting amino acid can be eliminated by this method,and the results of official method and ours show no difference,the recoveries are between 94%-104%,and the avarage relative standard deviation is 3.1%.
