Survey of finfish and shellfish for volatile N-nitrosamines. 1977

D C Havery, and T Fazio

A variety of finfish and shellfish obtained on the local retail market were analyzed for 14 volatile N-nitrosamines by using a gas-liquid chromatographic method demonstrated to be sensitive to 10 ppb (microng/kg). A total of 78 samples (fresh, frozen, and canned), representing 26 varieties of fish, were analyzed. No nitrosamines were found.

D009602	Nitrosamines	A class of compounds that contain a -NH2 and a -NO radical. Many members of this group have carcinogenic and mutagenic properties.	Nitrosamine
D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
