The effects of natural extracts on the formation of polar (IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx, 4,8‐DiMeIQx, and PhIP) and nonpolar (norharman, harman, and AαC) heterocyclic amines (HAs) were examined in ground beef cooked at 200 and 210°C for 20 min. In experiment 1, the formation of MeIQx was effectively reduced by 77%, 75%, and 69%, respectively, for 1.0% pine bark extract (Pycnogenol®), 1.0% Oleoresin rosemary (Herbalox®), and grape seed extract (ActiVin TM ) at 200°C for 20 min. No 4,8‐DiMeIQx was observed in the 1.0% ActiVin. When compared with the initial concentrations, glucose and creatine significantly decreased for all treatments and the control at 200°C after 20 min. In experiment 2, IQ was not formed in any treatment when beef was fried at 210°C for 10 min/side. The formation of MeIQx was reduced by 64% and 61% at 1.0% ActiVin and 1.0% Pycnogenol. Herbalox (1.0%) more effectively decreased the amount of nonpolar HAs than other treatments. No AαC and norharman were detected at 1.0 % Herbalox. Natural extracts, ActiVin, Pycnogenol, and Herbalox, effectively decreased the formation of polar and nonpolar HAs. The results provide valuable information to inhibit the formation of HAs in cooked meats.
