Abstract
More than twenty mutagenic and carcinogenic heterocyclic amines have hitherto been isolated from the crust of fried fish or meat (Sugimura, 1995). Since the heterocyclic amines, and particularly the group of amino-imidazoazaarenes (AIA), (“IQ-compounds”) (Fig. 1), which are more commonly found in cooked food, are potential human carcinogens, the interest in these compounds has nearly exploded. A Med-line search gave more than 250 papers since 1990.
