Provided is a component measuring apparatus configured to determine a functional form that describes wavelength characteristics of a variation attributable to scattering (S (&#x3bb;)). The apparatus then determines unknown one or more coefficients (p, q) based on a first relational expression that involves a variation attributable to absorption (H (&#x3bb;)) and a group of second relational expressions that do not involve variations attributable to absorption (H (&#x3bb;), H (&#x3bb;), H (&#x3bb;)). The apparatus then corrects an absorbance measured at an arbitrary wavelength (&#x3bb;) using a function where the one or more coefficients (p, q) are applied to the functional form so as to reduce or eliminate at least the effects of scattering of light.
