In fermented foods, the presence of BAs is due to the decarboxylase
activity of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used as starter culture,
and to the action of some spoilage bacteria. In non-fermented
foods, the presence of BAs is only indicative of undesired
microbial activity. Therefore, the amine level could be used as an
indicator of microbial spoilage. The amounts of histamine,
putrescine, and cadaverine usually increase during spoilage of fish
and meat. Early detection of BA- producing bacteria is essential in
the food industry, in order to avoid the risk of amine formation
and, subsequently, a cause of food-borne disease. Several methods
exist for isolation, identifying, and determination of biogenic
amines in fermented foods.
