Thus, nitrosamines arise in the stomach under reducing conditions, when nitrites are present.

When amines (for example by amino acids) react with nitrites or nitrosyl cation, nitrosamines are formed.

The figure shows what happens in the body with a nitrosamine.

They are potent carcinogens, since they can inter alia split off formaldehyde, which is proven to be carcinogenic, and on the other hand highly reactive carbenium ions are also formed, which can in particular alkylate DNA molecules.

Nitrosamines are decomposition products of carbohydrates, especially starch. They are produced in a safe amount when, for example, potato is made too dark. They are considered to be carcinogenic.

“Mutagene” is a collective term for substances which have a varying effect on inheritance, which can usually be negative but also positive.

That’s wrong. They cannot be formed from carbohydrates because they do not contain nitrogen.

Also wrong, what you mean is acrylamide
