Abstract
46 samples of commercially available diets for experimental animals have been analysed for their content of volatile N-nitrosamines by use of a nitrosamine-specific detection method (TEA-detector). 80% of all analysed samples were positive for N-nitrosodimethylamine with a maximum content of 79 ppb (μg/kg) found in one sample. 59% of the samples were positive for N-nitrosopyrrolidine with 26 ppb as highest content. In 3 samples trace quantities (N-nitrosodiethylamine were found, one sample contained N-nitrosopiperidine (4 ppb). 46 Proben kommerziell erhältlicher Futtermittel für Versuchstiere wurden mittels eines Nitrosamin-spezifischen (TEA) Detektors auf den Gehalt an flüchtigen Nitrosaminen untersucht. 80% aller untersuchten Proben enthielten N-Nitrosodimethylamin, der höchste gefundene Wert lag bei 79 ppb (μg/kg). 59% der Proben enthielten N-Nitrosopyrrolidin mit einem Maximalwert von 26 ppb in einer Probe. Drei Proben enthielten Spuren (N-Nitrosodiäthylamin, eine N-Nitrosopiperidin (4 ppb).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
