Effects of Seasoning and Heating Device on Mutagenicity and Heterocyclic Amines in Cooked Beef

Pan-roasted beef showed a lower mutagenicity after various degrees of cooking than charcoaled one. The high mutagenicity of charcoaled beef was due to the formation of more heterocyclic amines, especially AαC (2-amino-9 H-pyrido- [2,3-b]indole) and PhIP (2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine) because of rapid and direct heating on the surface of the meat at a high temperature. Seasoning decreased mutagenicity of pan-roasted beef except the very well done sample with unchanged heterocyclic amine contents, but increased mutagenicity of charcoaled beef with decreased levels of AαC and PhIP, probably due to the change of heterocyclic amine precursors or alternatively to the occurrence of other mutagens.
