The degradation of nitrite and the inhibition towards formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines by melanoidins, produced from the glucose-glycine system were investigated at various conditions. The degradation of nitrite was highest at pH 1.2 (29%), when the ratio of melanoidins to nitrite was 1:3. The inhibition towards formation of nitrosamines by melanoidins had the same tendency as the degradation of nitrite, the inhibition also being highest at pH 1.2 (99%). In addition, melanoidins after nitrite treatment exhibited a little higher mutagenicity and much stronger desmutagenicity than those of the original melanoidins. The change of the structure of melanoidins after treating with nitrite was also investigated by HPLC and CP-MAS NMR.
