A Commentary on Physico-chemical and Biological Activity of Biogenic Amines and Their Relationship with Safety of Cheese

چکیده

This manuscript offers a comprehensive review about the bacterial amino acid decarboxylase activity and biogenic amines content of an artisanal cheese produced in Italy, named as Pecorino cheese. It is highlighted the importance of controlling primary production of raw milk, as well as cheese-making process to avoid the release of free amino-acids and viability of microorganisms possessing amino acid decarboxylating activity. Variation in other physico-chemical parameters, such as water activity or protein content, or quality of raw milk, processing conditions, ripening, and subsequent storage before consumption may influence the biogenic amines formation. There are not so many studies made in this area and this could be particularly interesting in other cheese types, where artisanal production is commonly followed.

Biogenic amines determination in some traditional cheeses in West Azerbaijan province of Iran

Biogenic amines (BA) are nitrogenous compounds that possess biological activity. The source of production is the microbial decarboxylation of amino acids. This compounds are found in various types of cheese. The aim of this work was to evaluate the BA content of some traditional cheeses in West Azerbaijan province Iran. For this purpose, 70 samples of Koopeh, 10 samples of Lighvan and 5 samples...

Biogenic Amines in Italian Pecorino Cheese

The quality of distinctive artisanal cheeses is closely associated with the territory of production and its traditions. Pedoclimatic characteristics, genetic autochthonous variations, and anthropic components create an environment so specific that it would be extremely difficult to reproduce elsewhere. Pecorino cheese is included in this sector of the market and is widely diffused in Italy (∼62...

Comparison of γ-Aminobutyric Acid and Biogenic Amine Content of Different types of Ewe’s Milk Cheese Produced in Sardinia, Italy

The bioactive compounds γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and biogenic amines (BA), together with protein-free amino acids, were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in ewe's milk cheeses produced in Sardinia with different technological traits. The study included three types of cheese: Pecorino Sardo PDO, Pecorino and Casu Marzu. Farmhouse Casu Marzu and Pecorino showed GABA content (ma...

Impact of Lactic Acid on Formation of Biogenic Amines in Common Carp

ABSTRACT        Background and Objective: Raw fish is a highly perishable product that deteriorates due to chemical changes and microbial growth. Biogenic amines (BAs) are generated in course of bacterial spoilage in fish that may lead to BA toxicity, particularly in adverse storage conditions. The purpose of this study was to prevent the BAs toxicity caused b...
