The reaction of several primary amines with nitrite was investigated
with regard to the formation of N-nitrosamines. When reacted
in a low moisture system at 160°C with a 1:2 molar ratio of amine to
sodium nitrite, various primary amine hydrochloride salts were found
to give rise to heterocyclic nitrosamines. The...
This study was conducted to investigate the accumulation of dietary polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) by a Mt. Shasta strain of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

levels of acetaldehyde than plain yogurt. This study was undertaken
to seek the reasons for this phenomenon by focusing on the analyses
of acetaldehyde production by yogurt culture bacteria in yogurt base
containing added sucrose and by performing other analyses such as
the...
