Summary:Occurrence of biogenic amines in fresh fish and fishery products constitute a significant safety concern. Ingestion of histamine is identified as the causative agent of several food poisoning incidences on an annual basis. In addition, cadaverine, putrescine and tyramine have been recognized as potentiators of histamine poisoning. Accumulation of biogenic amines in fresh fish and fishery products has been mainly attributed to growth of bacteria possessing amino acid decarboxylase activity, which is facilitated by lack of hygienic conditions and strict temperature control during their storage. To this end, the effectiveness of traditional and modern approaches to control biogenic amine accumulation has been in the epicenter of intensive study. The aim of the present review article is to update and integrate current knowledge regarding the biogenic amine content of fresh fish and fishery products as well as the capacity of traditional and emerging control strategies.
