Attempts to isolate N-nitroso compounds from Chinese-style salted fish.
Various types of salted fish have been collected from Hong Kong and analyzed for volatile nitrosamines and bacterial mutagenicity. Both of these parameters were low in the samples as collected. Exposure of these samples to nitrite yields substantial quantities of nitrosamines and mutagenic activity.
