heterocyclic aromatic amines

Diet is an important factor in the global variation of human cancer. Heterocyclic aromatic amines （HAAs） are mutagenic/carcinogenic compounds formed at low levels via the Maillard reaction and a free radical mechanism during cooking of animal tissue at high temperature.
