Simultaneous extraction and quantitation of several bioactive amines in cheese and chocolate

A versatile method for the N, N-dialkylation of aromatic amines via Grignard reactions on N,N-bis(benzotriazolylmethyl)arylamines

“…This application of our method is of special interest, as 2-phenylethylamine and its derivatives are important for their biological activity and wide natural occurrence (37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45).…”

Direct analysis of biogenic amines in water matrix by modified capillary zone electrophoresis with 18-crown-6

“…Many of them possess powerful physiological effects and important biological activities; however, from a hygienic point of view, some of BAs are the causative agents in a number of food poisoning episodes when present at considerable concentrations [2,3]. For example, most foodborne intoxication caused by BAs is related to histamine (His) which can cause headaches, hypotension and digestive problems, whereas aromatic amines, tyramine (Tyr) and β-phenylethylamine (Phe), have been associated with migraines and hypertension [4].…”

“…The quantity of BAs is also to be considered a marker of the level of microbiological contamination in food [6]. It was also found that BAs are not significantly reduced by high temperature treatment [2,3]. For these reasons, it is important to develop a fast and reliable method for monitoring BAs levels in food and environment.…”

Tyramine in foods and monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs: A crossroad where medicine, nutrition, pharmacy, and food industry converge

“…Most published data are in methodological papers aimed at assessing changes in the manufacturing processes for quality control purpose or for use of different microbial organism strains in production of foods such as cheese or fermented foods and are reported in different units (Komprda et al, 2001;Ordonez et al, 1997;Spicka et al, 2002;Baker et al, 1987;Moret and Conte, 1996). In these analyses, usually only one or two samples are purchased in local markets and, thus, are based on a convenience sample rather than representative samples .…”
