Abstract The modification of a newly developed method for determination of apparent total N-nitroso compounds by chemical denitrosation and chemiluminescence detection of nitric oxide (thermal energy analysis) is described. The minimum level of reliable measurement was 0.1 ppm, and the repeatability of the method was 0.2 ppm, based on the response of N-nitrosoproline (NPro). Seventy-three samples of cured-meat products, including frankfurters, bacon, and ham, were examined; 50 samples contained less than 1 ppm. The largest amounts, up to 24.8 ppm, were detected in canned corned beef. This method has several advantages over other methods.

Chemiluminescent Reaction

abstract A method was developed for rapid and selective determination of potential nitrosating agents at the part-per-billion level in cosmetic products. These compounds are chemically reduced to nitric oxide, which is determined by its chemiluminescent reaction with ozone. Suspended materials and colors in cosmetic products do not interfere. Hence their removal before analysis is not required. A detection limit of 33 ppb, calculated as nitrite, was obtained. No false-positive interferences were observed from antifoaming agents, several AZ-nitroso compounds, and nitrate up to 20 ppm. Among cosmetic products surveyed, potential nitrosating agents were found at levels ranging from 113 to 5021 ppb. No consistent relationship was found between levels of potential nitrosating agents and N-nitrosamines in the same products. However, the highest levels of nitrosating agents were most often associated with the highest levels of N-nitrosamines known to be present in the products.

The adsorption and desorption behaviour of a cationic polyelectrolyte contacted with wood pulp fibers was determined by total nitrogen analysis using a pyrolysis/chemiluminescence detection system. Dialysed polymer generated an adsorption isotherm of higher affinity than did non-dialysed polymer. Capacity adsorption was maximized at pH 7, but decreased in the presence of alum depending on the dosage. Desorption of non-dialysed polymer was caused by changes in pH above or below 7.0 as well as by addition of alum. However for the alum doses typically encountered in paper manufacturing, significant desorption is unlikely. Nevertheless, the contaminants in non-dialysed polymers do hinder adsorption, and effluents from those processes using both alum and polymer may contain quantities of unadsorbed or desorbed polyelectrolytes which could be damaging to receiving water bodies.

Abstract Stomach cancer rates in rural Linqu County, Shandong Province, China, are exceptionally high. A previous case-control study revealed that the risk of stomach cancer was 30%higher among those who consumed sour (fermented) corn pancakes at least daily. A previous study of the sour pancakes reported volatile nitrosamines in most specimens, and almost half reportedly showed mutagenic activity. Few households currently consume sour pancakes, and the duration of fermentation has been shortened. We tested specimens of pancake batter and sour pancakes from Linqu County for mutagenic activity using the Ames test; for N-nitroso compounds (NOC) we used the Nitrolite–thermal energy analysis (TEA) method. Results of the Ames test were inconclusive: only 1 out of 15 cooked pancakes showed a positive mutagenic response, and all 15 batter specimens were negative; however, several batter specimens showed a weakly positive trend of mutagenicity with extract concentration. Our assay for total nitroso compounds was weakly positive in only 1 out of 15 specimens of sour pancake batter. That specimen was also tested by gas chromatography–TEA for nitrosaminoacids and volatile nitrosamines, but none were detected. It seems unlikely that the Chinese sour pancakes are significantly contaminated by NOC or other mutagens.
