An Analytical Contribution to Determine Some Volatile N- Nitrosamines in Meat, Using Gas Chromatography and Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID)


Abstract in English

Conditions for Gas chromatography (GC) equipped with Flame Ionization Detector (FID) were optimized in order to dtermine volatile N-nitrosamine in meat and meat products, using optima XLB (30m × 0.25 mm × 0.25µm) column. Results reveal that the method has a low detection limit with repeatability and linearity and with average recovery ranging from 89% to 105.5% and accepted relative standard deviation
