It consists in submitting to the action of heat the hydrochlorate of trimethylamine, which is obtained as a by-product in the manufacture of potash of beets. ❋ Various (N/A)
The whole plant is sprinkled over with the white, pellucid meal, and contains much "trimethylamine," together with osmazome, and nitrate of potash; also it gives off free ammonia. ❋ William Thomas Fernie (N/A)
They make fish inedible in a fraction of the time they take to spoil beef or pork, by consuming the savory free amino acids and then proteins and turning them into obnoxious nitrogen-containing substances (ammonia, trimethylamine, indole, skatole, putrescine, cadaverine) and sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, skunky methanethiol). ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
Finfish contain some, but also rely on a largely tasteless amine called TMAO trimethylamine oxide. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
The amino acids can in turn be broken into various amines, some of which are reminiscent of ocean fish (trimethylamine), others of spoiling meat (putrescine); into strong sulfur compounds (a specialty of smear bacteria), or into simple ammonia, a powerful aroma that in overripened cheeses is harsh, like household cleaner. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
The problem with TMAO and urea is that once the fish are killed, bacteria and fish enzymes convert the former into stinky TMA trimethylamine and the latter into kitchen-cleanser ammonia. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
The hydrochlorate is thus decomposed into free trimethylamine, ammonia, and chloride of methyl. ❋ Various (N/A)
It is claimed that the cause of this condition is due to the formation of trimethylamine (herring brine odor) due to the growth of the mold fungus ❋ Unknown (1910)
The FMO3 gene mutation thwarts digestion of the common food chemical trimethylamine, which causes the stinky chemical to build up and ooze out in sweat, urine and breath. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish malodor syndrome, is a rare metabolic disorder that prevents affected individuals from properly breaking down trimethylamine (TMA), instead letting it build up in the body. ❋ [email protected] (2011)
The symptom of unusual body odor appears to be associated with increased presence of a breakdown product of choline called trimethylamine. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MC) showed that trimethylamine was the most abundant volatile in mid - and late storage periods. ❋ Eyjolfur Reynisson (2009)
A significant increase in hydrogen evolution was observed for cells grown in the presence of trimethylamine oxide, dimethylsulfoxide and disodium thiosulfate, showing that the system of S. oneidensis is efficient for heterologous expression of algal [Fe-Fe] hydrogenase. ❋ Unknown (2008)
rhhardin, amines are the cause, specifically trimethylamine which smells like fish slime. ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)
