Abstract In meat production, nitrite is often applied as the colorant and preservative to ensure the meat of
better color, favour and texture．However, nitrite is easy to act with the amine material decomposed from
the protein of the meat, then nitrosamine substances is produced. Nitrosamin substances may cause cancer
easily. As a result, researchers all over the world are working on an alternative of the nitrite, while little has
been proved well enough to play the role of it. So a compound system without nitrite is being studied.
