Heterocyclic Amines

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Heterocyclic amines are the potential mutagens and carcinogens that are generally responsible for inducing several types of cancers and DNA damage after accumulation in the body. Formation of these carcinogenic compounds is linked with the meat products that are subjected to higher temperature during processing for longer periods of time. Detection and quantification of these compounds is a big challenge for the scientists. With the advancement in the technology, several reliable and comprehensive techniques have been developed to detect the presence of these mutagens. However, still there is a need to introduce some rapid and more precise techniques that can determine the actual concentrations and types of heterocyclic amines in the food samples. Additionally, more studies should be conducted to evaluate the potential of several antioxidant compounds that can control the quantity of heterocyclic amines without adversely affecting the organoleptic attributes of food products.
