title: [Detection of acetamide in the thermal degradation products of chitin (author's transl)].
abstract: Thermal degradation of chitin, which is a constituent of some foods, yields as main volatile compound acetamide (9% of dry weight) a fact with possible physiological implications. Thermal analysis shows decomposition beginning at 200 degrees C.
