Measurement of dimethylamine and trimethylamine in Dungeness crab, Cancer magister

A rapid gas liquid chromatographic method was adapted to processed
Dungeness crab for the determination of basic and neutral
volatiles. Methylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine were
measured in processed Dungeness crab for the first time. Generally,
the range for trimethylamine was 42 ppm for frozen crab to 700 ppm
for iced crab. Low levels of dimethylamine were found in iced and
frozen samples whereas higher levels (33-71 ppm) were found in canned
and iced-canned samples. Ammonia, methyl sulfide, acetaldehyde,
acetone, diacetyl, benzene, and toluene were also identified in
processed Dungeness crab for the first time. / Graduation date: 1973
