In order to establish a new rapid, accurate and simple method which was aimed to determine the trace acrylamide in foods, take commercially available foodstuff as samples, the acrylamide was extracted from the samples. The extracted acrylamide from samples was determined by using its inhibition to luminol-potassium permanganate chemiluminescence system and the condition was optimized. The results showed that the linear ranges of this determination was from 1.0×10-10 to 1.0×10-4 mol/L, the correlation coefficient was 0.999 3, the detection limit was 3.40×10-13 mol/L. Recoveries were between 85.7% and 98.2%. The relative standard deviation was 2.4%（n=9）. Compared to the tests taken by gas chromatography, there was no significant difference between the two methods after the F-test and t-test, with the confidence level of 95%. The method was easily to be automated because of the wide linear ranges and high sensitive. It was convenient, cheap and practicable and easy for site testing. It is suitable for determination of acrylamide in foods.
