    Abstract:
    A high-performance liquid chromatographic-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometric method was developed for the determination of volatile nitrosamines in dry sausages. Tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the detection of N-nitrosopyrrolidine, N-nitrosodiethylamine and N-nitrosopiperidine. N-nitrosomethylamine was detected by using the selected ion monitoring mode. The occurrence of the four different nitrosamines was monitored in 27 dry sausage samples and a correlation was observed between N-nitrosopyrrolidine and biogenic amines. Nitroso compounds are thus not only formed in heated conditions but formation can also occur during ripening of dry sausages by reaction between residual nitrite and amines formed during the fermentation process.
