Abstract: Heterocyclic amines (HAs) are mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds formed in high-protein foods such as meat and fish during cooking. Current sample pretreatment technologies and detection methods for HAs in cooked meats are summarized, and the stress is put on introducing approaches for controlling their formation in the processing of meat products.

Key words: heterocyclic amines, cooked foods, detection technology, control measures
