N-nitrosamines, which are classified as carcinogens by IARC and US EPA, can be easily found in various foods. They are reaction products between nitrogen oxide and secondary amines, but can also be generated during fermentation. Ever since the 1960s, when nitrite, used as a preservative in processed meats, was suspected to generate N-nitrosamines, the usage of the food additive has been debated. However, the benefit of nitrite in food supply could not be ignored and the risk-benefit analysis has become a key issue in the use of the additive. For a risk analysis, an accurate estimation of the hazardous material is necessary; therefore, analytical methods for nitrosamines have continuously evolved from the 1950s. Solid supported liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extractions have replaced the distillation for the clean-up steps, and tandem mass spectrometry is employed for higher selectivity and sensitivity. In the present study, for a better estimation of N-nitrosamine intake, the total diet study samples were prepared for the N-nitrosamines analysis. In order to obtain the most sensitive results, a partial preparation procedure was developed and modified for different food matrices. Among seven N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosomethylethylamine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosodibutylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, and N-nitrosomorpholine) analyzed in the present study, N-nitrosodiethylamine has shown the highest detection rate in agricultural foods, while N-nitrosodimethylamine has appeared most frequently in livestock and fishery food products. The concentration of N-nitrosodimethylamine was the highest in seasoning.

This study investigates the oxidative degradation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, by advanced oxidation process (i.e., UV process). The experiments were performed with various pH, initial concentration, UV intensity, and addition of $H_2O_2$ or $TiO_2$ on UV process. The results showed that the direct UV photolysis was the most effective treatment method. The lower pH, intial concentration and higher intensity of UV stimulated higher NDMA removal. However, addition of oxidant ($H_2O_2$, $TiO_2$) slows down photochemical treatment of NDMA since the oxidant can filter out the UV light and block it to reach the NDMA molecules. Dimethylamine (DMA) and nitrite were found to be a major byproduct from NDMA oxidation. To evaluate the chronic toxicity effects of UV-treated NDMA on the growth of microalgae, "Skeletonema costatum", was studied as long term experiments. Results demonstrated that after the 13 days exposure the chronic toxicity was decreased about 15% with application of UV process on NDMA degradation.

N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was determined in both domestic Korean and imported beers, from the Netherlands, USA, Japan, Belgium and Germany. Among the 8 kinds of Korean beers, 4 were contaminated with NDMA, and 4 were not. The average concentration of NDMA detected in Korean beers was 0.78 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg and the maximum NDMA concentration was 5.73 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. NDMA was only detected in one imported beer, which had a concentration of 5.29 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. Assuming an average concentration of 0.78 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg NDMA in Korean domestic beer, the average daily intake of NDMA through domestic beer consumption by a typical Korean is approximately 0.58 $\mu\textrm{g}$/person/day.

Recently, the interest in NDMA(N-nitrosodimethylamine) has increased due to its recognition as a pollutant by Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy and California Department of Health Sciences. It is, in fact, one of the DBPs(Disinfection By-products) which appears due to chlorination and is reported to be fatal if exposed continuously to human body. Due to uncertainty in mechanism to remove it, its treatment is not yet carried out. In this experiment, treatment of biological NDMA is carried out by letting it adsorbed on Granular Sludge and then filtering the medium through MF(Microfiltration) and UF(Ultrafiltration) membranes. Granular Sludge is adapted to aerobic and anaerobic conditions for 7 days and the experimental conditions are MLSS of 8000mg/L, COD of 250mg/L, TN of 12.5mg/L, and TP of 2.5mg/L. Several batch tests were carried out and samples were collected with the interval of 1 hour. Samples were measured by LSC(Liquid scintillation counter) after filtering by MF and UF. In batch test with granular sludge the permeate concentrations(removal efficiencies) of NDMA by MF and UF were 71.7ng/L(32.0%) and 62.0ng/L(43.7%) at aerobic state, and 52.0ng/L(49.2%) and 47.6ng/L(58.9%) at anaerobic state, respectively. Hence, UF membrane showed about 10% more removal efficiency than MF and removal efficiency at anaerobic condition was 15% more than that at aerobic condition.

Zidovudine is an antiretroviral agent prescribed for the prevention and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). It is typically recommended to be used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Zidovudine has the potential to generate N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the presence of dimethylamine and nitrite salt under acidic reaction conditions during the drug manufacturing process. NDMA is a potent human carcinogen that may be detected in drug substances or drug products. An analytical method was developed to determine NDMA in pharmaceuticals including zidovudine using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The analysis involved reversed-phase chromatography on a Kinetex F5 column with a mobile phase comprising water-acetonitrile mixtures. The detection of positively charged ions was conducted using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). The calibration curve demonstrated excellent linearity (r = 0.9997) across the range of 1-50 ng/mL with a highly sensitive limit of detection (LOD) at 0.3 ng/mL. The developed method underwent thorough validation for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, and system suitability. This sensitive and specific analytical method was applied for detecting NDMA in zidovudine drug substance and its formulation currently available in the market, indicating its suitability for drug quality management purposes.

감귤 6종류의 종자를 메탄올로 추출하여 이들 추출물에 의한 N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) 생성억제효과를 검정하였다. 감귤류 종자의 수분함량은 4∼6%, 조단백질 함량 11∼15%, 조지방 32∼46%, 탄수화물 함량은 22∼45%이었으며, 회분함량은 2∼4%, 플라보노이드는 12∼24mg%, 폴리페놀함량은 22∼53mg%이었다. 감귤종자 메탄올 추출물의 추출수율은 0.7∼1.1%, 고형분 함량은 0.8∼1.2%이었다. 감귤종자 메탄올추출물에 의한 아질산염의 소거효과는 추출물의 첨가량이 증가할수록 그 소거율이 증가였다. 또한 아질산염 소거능은 pH 의존성이 커서, pH 1.2(42.7∼96.9%)에서 높은 가장 높은 소거효과를 보였으며 pH 6.0(19.9∼62.6%)에서 가장 낮은 효과를 보였다. 게다가 반응시간에 따른 아질산염 소거효과는 3시간 반응시켰을 때 가장 높았다. NDMA 생성 억제효과는 감귤 종자 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 컸다. 즉 감귤종자 추출물을 각각 1, 3 및 5$m\ell$ 첨가하였을 때 NDMA 생성 억제율은 각각 1.2∼39.8%, 21.3∼60.1% 및 47.4∼94.0%이었다.

Glucose-아미노산(Lys, Gly, His, Arg)모델계 반응을 통해 생성된 Maillard반응생성물과 비투석성 melanoidin의 NDMA생성억제능에 대한 영향을 검토하였는데 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. Maillard반응생성물과 비투석성 melanoidin의 모든 시료에서 NDMA생성억제능이 나타났으며, 환원능을 소멸시키고 난 후의 NDMA생성억제능은 환원능이 소실되기 이전보다 1/2이하로 감소하여 이들 시료에 존재하는 환원능이 NDMA생성억제에 있어서 주요 인자로 나타났다. 2. Melanoidin과 ascorbic acid를 동량 첨가하였을 때, NDMA생성억제능은 ascorbic acid를 동량 첨가하였을 때, NDMA생성억제능은 ascorbic acid와 비슷한 경향을 나타내어 비투석성 melanoidin의 NDMA생성억제능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 3. Maillard반응생성물에 의한 NDMA생성억제작용은 Maillard반응생성물에 존재하는 비투석성 melanoidin이 크게 관여하고 이들 억제작용에는 Maillard반응생성물의 환원능이 크게 관여 하는 것으로 나타났다.
