  • Title: N-nitrosamines in Indian beers.
    Author: Prasad MP, Krishnaswamy K.
    Journal: Indian J Med Res; 1994 Dec; 100():299-301. PubMed ID: 7829171.
    Abstract:
    Presence of volatile N-nitrosamines in beer and other alcoholic drinks are well documented in developed countries. Analysis of 120 beer samples of various brands/batches showed positivity for N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in more than 100 samples. The overall mean of 3.6 ppb of NDMA is higher than those currently found in Western countries. Since N-nitrosamines are proven carcinogens in animals at several sites it is necessary to keep their levels of exposure to as low as possible.
