The concentration of volatile amines and the bacterial counts were determined in pork meat stored at −20, +5 and +20 °C. Amine formation appeared to be independent of bacterial growth until the count reached 10 9 /cm 2 . The meat spoiled before the dimethylamine/trimethylamine content reached a concentration likely to yield a detectable amount of N ‐nitrosodimethylamine in a cured product.
