Abstract

Biogenic amines (BAs) consist of organic nitrogenous compounds produced by the amino acid’s decarboxylation. They are present in various foods, such as meat products, and are associated with several health hazards. In meat, BAs are produced by the action of microorganisms that can decarboxylate amino acids. BAs can also be produced in meat naturally by enzymatic pathways. Tyramine, histamine, cadaverine, and putrescine are BAs frequently found in meat products. BAs are frequently found in fish depending on the species and time-temperature control, but can also be present in meat, particularly in canned, cured and fermented meat products. BAs are associated with various health disorders and toxicological effects including cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal system problems. Numerous factors influence the BAs generation in meat products. Factors such a handling, storage temperature, and processing procedures are essential for minimizing the risk of BAs formation to ensure food safety. Plant extracts and spices, play a multifaceted role in regulating BAs developments in diverse food items. Plant extracts containing phenolic/polyphenols, terpenoids and alkaloids have exhibited antimicrobial properties that can hinder the growth of microorganisms responsible for producing amines, consequently reducing BAs formation. Also, spices frequently contain compounds that impede the enzymatic conversion of precursor amino acids into biogenic amines.
