The aim of our work was to characterise the physical and chemical parameters of Heterocyclic Amine formation in an easy-to-handle model system. This should allow the carrying out of a large series of aqueous and meat matrix based experiments under identical conditions, without the use of expensive equipment or time and work consuming clean up steps. Compared with other heating methods, the use of a laboratory autoclav has different advantages: no Diethyleneglycol has to be used and no expensive closed metal tubes are necessary. Furthermore, this heating device allows the processing of large scale experiments under the same conditions with reproducible and exact control of pressure and temperature.
