A solid phase extraction method has been developed for the preconcentration of Sudan III dye at the trace level using β-Cyclodextrin polymer. After preconcentration the dye solute was determined UV-VIS Spectrophotometry. Various parameters, such as effect of pH, sample volume, shaking time, amount of adsorbent, agitation speed for the % uptake of Sudan III has been optimized. This method has been applied for the determination of Sudan III in different food samples.
