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.
