MeIQ, IQ, MeIQx, PhIP and AαC were the major HCAs and these compounds were found in amounts up to 2.45, 1.91, 1.68, 1.61 and 0.75 ng g-1, respectively. On the other hand, IQx, 7,8-DiMeIQx, 4,8-DiMeIQx and MeAαC were detected at low or under detectable amounts. It was also determined that total HCA amount changed between 0.43 and 6.88 ng g-1. Meatball is commonly consumed meat dish in Turkey and this study provides valuable data that will help estimation of daily HCA intake and exposure. ER -
