A recent advance in square-wave voltammetry provides a method which can perform potential scanning within seconds, and is thus applicable for detection in a flow system. Although square-wave voltammetry has been applied to the flow injection analysis of additives in food, theoretical work has been lacking in the literature. This paper presents a working equation for the above-mentioned analysis. The results obtained by a theoretical calculation have been shown to give satisfactory agreement with the experimental results. The results for analyses of food are given to illustrate the applicability of the technique for flow injection analysis.
