HCA species and levels in heat‐treated meat and meat products depend on the presence and concentrations of various factors such as meat type, cooking temperature, cooking time, cooking equipment and method, pH, water activity, level of carbohydrates, free amino acids, creatine, fats, lipid oxidation, and antioxidants and heat and mass transfer levels (Oz, ; Oz, Cakmak, Zikirov, Kizil, & Turhan, ; Oz, Kizil, Zaman, & Turhan, b; Oz, Kizil, & Çelik, ; Oz & Kaya, ; Pais, Salmon, Knize, & Felton, ).
