  • Title: Reactions of nitrate and nitrite in foods with special reference to the determination of N-nitroso compounds.
    Author: Walters CL.
    Journal: Food Addit Contam; 1992; 9(5):441-7. PubMed ID: 1298648.
    Abstract:
    The stabilities of nitrate and nitrite in food systems and their reactions in such matrices are reviewed. Particular reference is made to reactions with haem proteins, smoke components and amines in foods, and the chemistry of formation of N-nitroso compounds from food components is discussed. Finally, the methodology available for determination of both volatile and non-volatile N-nitroso compounds is addressed.
