The electrolyte solutions, sweep rates, purges time, researched on the determination of cyanide. Distillation time of 90 minutes was recommended to use; some interferences of other anions including sulphide and sulphite were also investigated. Cyanide content ion of cassava and bamboo shoot has been determined by differential pulse polarography method using the quantitative technique of standard addition. The ranges of cyanide concentration in bamboo shoot were within mg/g and from limit of detection to mg/g for cassava. Accuracy was assessed by analyzing artificial sample and the repeatability (expressed as the relative standard deviation in percentage) was 3%. Sensitivity of analysis was assessed by limit of detection (LOD = mg/l) and limit of quantification (LOQ = ). | Research to determine content of cyanide in cassava and bamboo shoot by differential pulse polarography method
