The analysis of biogenic amines in fresh and processed food is of great importance not only for the potential risk these compounds have on human health, but also because these amines can perform as chemical indicators of food quality and enable the assessment of food processing conditions and/or microbial contamination. A good option for a rapid detection of biogenic amines is the application of biosensors, as these devices enable the obtainment of results in a few minutes without pretreatment of the analyzed material. Biosensors for biogenic amines comprise various combinations of different enzymes for selective biorecognition and signal transduction systems and are based on different signal mechanisms. The present review gives a condensed overview of the recent developments and issues in the construction of biosensors for the detection of most common biogenic amines found in food and other protein-containing material.
