“…b) By converting the non-volatile N-nitroso compounds to volatile derivatives and final detection by Gas Chromatography (GC), GC-Thermal Energy Analysis (GC-TEA), and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). This has been applied mainly to the N-nitrosoamino acids N-nitrososarcosine, Nnitrosoproline and N-nitroso-4-hydroxyproline by means of trimethylsilyl derivatives (Eisenbrand et al, 1976 (a, b);Janjowski et al, 1978) or methyl ester formation (Kushnir et al, 1975;Nakamura et al, 1976;Sen et al, 1976;Dhont and Ingen, 1976;Vfolfram et al, 1977). c) By High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).…”
