Abstract:

Biogenic amines are low molecular weight organic bases with biological activity, produced by the action of decarboxylase enzyme. Microorganisms used in food fermentation are able to produce it. The consumption of these compounds cause serious toxicological effects undesirable for human health. Although there is no specific legislation regarding amines content in food and beverage, the presence and accumulating of it has a great importance. The aim of this review is to evidence the need for further studies and discuss about the presence of BA in a variety of foods.
