n-nitrosobis(2-oxobutyl)amine
Description
n-Nitrosobis(2-oxobutyl)amine, also known as NDBA, is a potent mutagen and animal carcinogen. It is formed through the reaction of secondary amines with nitrous acid, a process that can occur in various environments such as the human stomach, during food processing, and in the environment. The compound is particularly concerning due to its presence in certain processed meats, where it arises from the reaction of nitrites used as preservatives with secondary amines in meat. NDBA has been shown to induce tumors in animal studies and is considered a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Its formation and presence in food products have driven extensive research efforts to understand its formation mechanisms, its effects on human health, and develop strategies to minimize its presence in food.'
