In this study, effects of ingoing nitrite level (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg), use of sodium ascorbate, addition of starter culture (Lactobacillus plantarum GM77 + Staphylococcus xylosus GM92) and cooking level (control, medium, medium well, well done and very well done) on nitrosamine formation in heat-treated sucuk, a type of semi-dry fermented sausage, were investigated. The use of ascorbate had no significant effect on NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) and NPIP (N-Nitrosopiperidine) contents in the presence of starter culture. A higher NPYR (N- Nitrosopyrrolidine) content was detected in the group with starter culture at 150 mg/kg nitrite level in comparison to the group without starter culture. Cooking level affected all identified nitrosamines very significantly. Ingoing nitrite level × cooking level interaction was only effective on NPIP and advanced cooking levels (well done and very well done) at higher ingoing nitrite levels (100 and 150 mg/kg) resulted in significant increases in NPIP content.
