The object of this study was to analyze the biogenic amines in commercial Pixian horsebean paste products and evaluate their safety. The contents and types of biogenic amines in 21 Pixian horsebean paste products were determined by dansyl chloride derivatization and HPLC, and the physicochemical properties of the samples were measured. The results showed that the content of biogenic amines varied in a range of (86.85±1.99)-(611.83±7.16) mg/kg, and putrescine, cadaverine, histamine and tyramine were main biogenic amines in products. However, the contents of histamine, tyramine and β-phenylethylamine in some products were high and even exceeded the recommendation values, as histamine and tyramine in particular were toxic, which indicated that some products were not completely safe for human consumption. In addition, the total amount of biogenic amines in red oil horsebean paste was higher than that in traditional horsebean paste. Moreover, the correlation between biogenic amines content and quality indexes of the 21 horsebean paste were weak or irrelevant, while the contents of histamine and tyramine were significantly relevant. It was concluded that the level of biogenic amines detected in Pixian horsebean pastes in this research can provide preliminarily theoretical data for studying the safety of biogenic amines in such pastes.
