“…Soybean fermented using Bacillus subtilis (natto) is one of the most polyamine-rich foods available due to the high amounts of these chemicals in soybean (Kalač, 2014;Nishibori et al, 2007;Okamoto et al, 1997). In Japan, fermented soybean is called "natto".…”

“…6,7,41) For example, beans show high concentrations of spermidine and SPM, vegetables have higher levels of putrescine and spermidine, and fish, shellfish, meat, and nuts have high levels of SPM. 7) Thus, different dietary habits might lead to variations in polyamine intake. The dose and concentration of SPM selected for the present experiments approximated those used by previous investigators to induce the maturation of the intestine in animals.…”

The polyamines spermidine and spermine (SPM) and their precursor putrescine are ubiquitous polycationic compounds found in all mammalian cells. [1][2][3][4][5] These compounds are essential for the maintenance of cell growth in many tissues, and intracellular levels of polyamines are maintained within narrow limits.The polyamines are present in variable amounts in almost all food or foodstuffs. In humans, a typical diet might contribute hundreds of micromoles of polyamines per day to the gut lumen, 6,7) and ingested food may be the major source of polyamines in the lumen of the upper small bowel. Exogenous polyamines play a role in the maintenance of normal growth and function of the intestinal tract. 8,9) Oral administration of SPM induces precocious maturation of the intestine. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Oral polyamines have also been shown to have beneficial effects on healing 16,17) and prevention [18][19][20] of gastrointestinal damage.The gastrointestinal tract acts as a barrier against the invasion of exogenous proteins into the body. This barrier function is due to enzymes that degrade the proteins and also due to impermeability of the proteins to the membrane due to their large molecular weight. Because most food-originated proteins are digested in the gastrointestinal tract before absorption, naturally occurring protein uptake from the intestinal epithelium should be low. In reality, however, the barrier function of the small intestinal epithelium in mammals is incomplete and, to a limited extent, macromolecules can pass from the lumen into the circulation. 21,22) In an in situ loop study and in an in vivo oral absorption study, we showed that polyamines, especially SPM, can enhance the intestinal absorption of fluorescein isothiocyanatelabeled dextran (molecular weight (MW) 4400, FD-4), a hydrophilic model macromolecule, without causing any significant damage in the intestinal tract in rats.23) We also suggested that the absorption-enhancing mechanism of SPM partly includes opening the tight junctions of the epithelium via the paracellular route by measuring FD-4 permeation and transepithelial electrical resistance in the human intestinal Caco-2 cell line. We have speculated that excess absorption of macromolecules by the action of SPM, one of the compounds in food, has widespread health effects. Thus, modulation of the gastrointestinal epithelial barrier by ingested luminal polyamines may influence the induction of food allergies. Gastrointestinal permeability enhanced by daily ingestion of polyamines plays a part in the regulation of the induction of tolerance because oral tolerance induction is related to the gradual and continuous absorption of a food allergen. 24,25) In contrast, after sensitization to an antigen, an increase in gastrointestinal permeability by polyamines may facilitate the absorption of the allergen into the circulation and lead to an anaphylactic response as an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to the antigen.The aim of this study was to determine whether an SPMinduced increase...

“…Cipolla et al [17] analyzed some fruit juices and fresh fruits for only polyamines content, finding comparable results except for spermine that was not detected in any sample and cadaverine that was found only in citrus fruit juices; pineapple juices were not considered in this study. Regarding the analysis of the raw material fresh fruits, Nishibori et al [28] analyzed only apple and orange and only for polyamines.…”

The profile and level of 11 biogenic amines were evaluated in commercial fruit juices (apple, grapefruit, orange and pineapple) and fruit nectars (apricot, peach and\ud pear) by HPLC/FD after dansyl chloride derivatization. The biogenic amine most present in nectars is cadaverine, followed by putrescine, spermidine and spermine. Fruit juices showed a wider variability in biogenic amines profile and level, with the highest total content in orange juices. The application of chemometric tools as hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis on the biogenic amine profiles of the juice samples succeeded in grouping juices on the basis of the fruit of origin. A Mathematical model with high predictive ability for fruit juices classification was obtained by linear discriminant analysis: orange (100 %), pineapple (100 %), grapefruit (80 %) and apple (70 %). This study represents the first description of biogenic amines content in these beverages. These compounds are well-known important quality parameters and demonstrated to have also a characteristic profile depending on the fruit of origin
