Popis: An investigation of the formation of nitrosamines from the naturally occurring amines in fish and added nitrite (sometimes used as a preservative) was carried out. Eighteen samples of smoked, and 5 of canned fish were analysed after cooking with or without sodium nitrite (up to 200 ppm). The results indicate that certain kinds of fish, especially those rich in amines, can form dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) during cooking with nitrite. The identity of the DMN isolated from the fish samples was verified by both thin-layer and gas chromatography.
