Abstract

Biogenic amines are compounds commonly presented in living organisms in which they are responsible for many essential functions.They are naturally existed in many kinds of food such as fruits,vegetables,meat,fish,chocolate and milk,they can also be produced by microorganisms through the activity of amino acid decarboxylases.Excessive intake of these amines will lead to sick or even death.The chemical structure,the mechanism,toxicity and determination of biogenic amines were reviewed in this paper.Moreover,the future prospects were also introduced.
