General description

Glycidamide, an active epoxide metabolite of acrylamide with potential biological activity, can be generated in vivo. Its mutagenic and genotoxic nature is well-known.

Application

Glycidamide may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in human and animal biological samples by various chromatography techniques.

Other Notes

In the summer of 2008 research scientists at the Technical University of Munich besides acrylamide detected glycidamide in potato crisps. Glycidamide is a metabolite of acrylamide.

Acrylamide (AA) is produced in many types of food products cooked or processed at high temperature. AA is metabolized to the epoxide glycidamide (GA), which can bind to deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine in DNA. The GA-derived N7-guanine and N3-adenine adducts are
