Experiments have shown that N‐nitrosamines can be formed when sodium nitrite and dialkylamines are heated in low‐moisture model systems. Parameters which may influence the reaction were investigated. Results revealed that maximum N‐nitrosamine formation depended on temperature and time of heating, sodium nitrite‐amine ratio and pH of the system.
