Heterocyclic Amines
• Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are mutagenic and
carcinogenic compounds that are present at ppb
levels in muscle foods cooked at high temperature.
• HCAs form via Maillard reaction with creati(ni)ne,
amino acids and sugars originally found in muscle foods.
• To date, more than 20 HCAs have been isolated from
different cooked muscle foods.
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC - WHO)
Classifies 8 of known HCAs (MeIQ, MeIQx, PhIP, AαC, MeAαC,Trp-2, Glu-p-1) as possible human carcinogens and IQ as a probable human carcinogen.
USA National Toxicology Program (Health and Human Services)
11th Report on Carcinogens:
Classifies 4 HCAs (IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx, and PhIP) as "reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens."
HCAs and Cancer
HCAs and Cancers
Epidemiological Studies – various results
The high intake of well-done meat and high
exposure to meat carcinogens, particularly HCAs,
may increase the risk of human cancers.
• Colorectal cancer
• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
Zheng and Lee (2009).
Heterocyclic Amines- types
• Aminoimidazole-azaarenes (AIAs) – Polar
• Produced by moderately high heating – typical
cooking/frying. Most studied group.
• Amino-carbolines (ACs) – Polar
• Pyrolysis of amino acids and proteins at temperature
above 575 ºF (300 ºC) higher temperatures
• Harman and Norharman – Carbolines - Nonpolar – not
mutagenic
• May still be toxic

Cooking Methods
• Modifying cooking methods
- cook at lower temperature/time
- microwave precooking
• Addition of antioxidants
- synthetic antioxidant (BHA, BHT, PG, TBHQ)
- natural antioxidant polyphenolics from a wide variety
of sources (fruit/plant and their extracts)
• Improving water-holding capacity
- water-binding compounds (carbohydrate, phosphate)

Conclusion
• HCA levels in RTE meat products are very low (less
than 1 ng/g), except for rotisserie chicken skin.
- Low-temperature manufacturing process (165-180 ºF)
- Presence of ingredients and additives that inhibit HCA
formation (e.g. salt, phosphate, spices)
• Consumption of RTE meat products contributes very
little to HCA intake.

Marinades to Inhibition of
Heterocyclic Amines

of Heterocyclic Amines in Beef Steaks. J. Food Sci. 73:1854-18591.
• Wide variety of research on the role of antioxidant
rich plant sources inhibition of HCA formation.
• Tea, chocolate, wine, fruits, and spices have been
studied. – All are rich polyphenolics which can block
the reactions via several mechanisms
• Rosemary/oregano extracts are frequently use
because easy to extract polyphenolics from volatiles
• Currently used in fresh and processed/frozen
products, often labeled as „natural flavor”
Introduction
• Add antioxidant/extract directly to product (ground beef), apply to surface, inject or marinade
• Cook on thermostat-controlled electric grill at 375-400 °F for various times
• Samples grind and analyze via HPLC
• Analyze the spice/extracts for antioxidant levels by HPLC
How - Methods
Objectives
• To investigate the influence of commercial marinades containing natural antioxidants on the reduction of HCAs on grilled beef steaks.
• Finding the correlation of the antioxidative components in spices and HCAs formation.
• Marinated steaks were treated with each of 3 marinades separately as labeled for one hour at 4 C before grilling.
• Controls and base formulations
• Meat samples (eye round steak) were grilled in a thermostat-controlled Teflon coated electric grill at 400 ºF (204 ºC) for 5 minutes each side.
• 2-4 mm thickness of steaks removed for analysis.

Summary
Enhancement of fresh meat - addition of salt and
phosphate (7-15%), significant reduction in HCA
levels
• Pork 50 % reduction
• Commercially enhanced and marinated products:
• With 12-30% enhancement see 30-60 % reductions
• Some is clearly tied to water retention but also
to presence of antioxidants (spices)
Reciprocation
• Where do we go from here?
• Revised products with more enhancement?
• Add more antioxidants?
• Promote antioxidants in meat products.
• How to deal with “bad” press? Do we
ignore or should there be more discussion
and education?
