Rapid detection methods for biogenic amines in foods

초록

Biogenic amines have been used as chemical indicators to estimate bacterial spoilage of foods, particularly fish and fish products, cheese, and fermented foods. So far many chromatography methods have been developed to detect biogenic amines in foods. Although these instrumental analyses exhibit good sensitivity, they cannot be used as rapid detection methods due to the chemical treatment of the samples and the time-consuming process involved. For the rapid and simple detection of biogenic amines, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kits are commercially available. In addition, analytical systems with enzyme-based amperometric biosensor detection have been increasingly developed. The biosensors used to detect the biogenic amines are based on the action of either amine oxidases or amine dehydrogenases that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines to the corresponding aldehydes and ammonia. This review mainly focused on the principle, development, and applications of the detection methods for rapid detection of biogenic amines in foods. © The Korean Society of Food Science and Technology.
