title: The blocking effects of Chinese Actinidia sinensis juice on N-nitrosamine formation in vitro and in vivo.
abstract: Chinese gooseberry juice has been found to be an efficient inhibitor of nitrosation both in vitro and in vivo. This activity appears to be due partly to high concentrations of ascorbic acid and partly to an unidentified nitrite scavenger.
