Abstract
There are about 50 kinds of salted and fermented fish in Korea, and they have been used as a necessity for the preparation of kimchi. There is next to nothing for the studies of finding out the cause of N-nitrosamine formation by using the salted and fermented anchovies. In order to predict the possibility of N-nitrosamine formation and mutagenicity from gastric digestion of Korean Jeotkal, correlation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and mutagenicity of the salted and fermented anchovy under simulated gastric digestion was investigated through mixture system of nitrate, thiocyanate, formaldehyde and ascorbic acid to the anchovy product aged at room temperature (18~20$^{\circ}C$) for 60 days. NDMA formation of fermented anchovy under simulated gastric digestion was accelerated by the increase of nitrate, thiocyanate and formaldehyde concentration and was inhibited by the addition of ascorbic acid as an inhibitor, showing that its inhibition rate was 71.3% at 4 mM as compared with control group. Mutagenicity in anchovy digest added with several level of nitrite, thiocyanate and formaldehyde was increased, while it was markedly decreased in addition of ascorbic acid.
