Contents of Nitrosamine Related Compounds in Some Foods and Condition for NDMA Formation in Vitro

식품중 Nitrosamine 관련물질의 함량과 시험관내에서 NDMA의 생성조건

This study was carried out to investigate contents of nitrosamine precursors such as trite and dimethylamine( DMA ) in some foods. The diazo and Cu- dithiocarbamate melt were used for determination, respectively. The major affecting factors of Nnitrosodimethylamine( NDMA ) formation such as pH, contents of DMA and NaNO$_{2}$, other chemicals, and UV- ray in beverage were investigated in vitro. The contents of nitrite in meat sausage and meat ham were 6.44 ∼ 18.66ppm and 12.85- 39.95pp% respectively, And extremely low level was detected in a certain kind of fish sausage. The contents of DMA in meat sausage meat ham and fish sausage were 3.34∼15. 85ppm, 1.20∼7.10ppm and 7.38∼12.28ppm, respectively. The optimum pH for NDMA formation in vitro was 3.0. NDMA formation was rapidly occurred at high temperature and formed above 80% within 1 hour reaction. The formation of NDMA was increased in proportion to the concentration of DMA and the square of the nitrite concentration. 0.1 M of sodium citrate, sodium tartarated and sodium taiocyanate enhanced NDMA formation. But sodium chloride did not affect. However, 0.3M of ascorbic acid, erythroid acid, ascorbic, palmitate and propy, gallate inhibited NDMA formalion approximately 78%,81%,86% and 85%, respectively. Cow milk and soybean milk inhibited 35 ∼47% of NDMA formation but orange juice and apple juice enhanced 15 ∼64% of NDMA formation. The peak in HPLC for NDMA disappeared by irradiation of UV to prior formed NDMA This result suggest that NDMA was destroyed by UV irradiation.
