BIOGENIC AMINES • Organic bases usually produced by decarboxylation of amino acids or by amination and transamination of aldehydes and ketones. • Vasoactive or psychoactive amines.
DECARBOXYLATION REACTIONS: FREE AMINO ACIDS TO BIOGENIC AMINES • HISTIDINE HISTAMINE • ARGININE PUTRESCINE • TYROSINE TYRAMINE • TRYPTOPHAN TRYPTAMINE • PHENYLALANINE 1- PHENYLETHYLAMINE

OBJECTIVES • Characterization for the first time of Romanian cheeses on the basis • of biogenic amines . • The total content and the dominant free amino acids in these • cheeses were also investigated .
EXPERIMENTAL • Cheese samples were purchased from supermarkets in Cluj- Napoca. • The amino acids and biogenic amines were extracted from the cheese samples ( 3 g ) with 20 mL 10 % trichloroacetic acid for 1 h at room temperature, at 100 rpm followed by a 0,45 µm membrane filtration .

CONCLUSIONS • The concentration of biogenic amines in Romanian cheeses varied • from 36,29 mg kg -1 to 290, 96 mg kg -1 dry weight. • The major biogenic amines were tyramine, putrescine, • cadaverine and histamine. • There was variability on the type and levels of amine in each kind • of cheese suggesting that amine accumulation in cheese could be • prevented.
CONCLUSIONS • The total content of free amino acids varied to a large extent according to cheese type and origin. • The dominant free amino acids were • glutamic acid, leucine, ornithine, lysine and phenylalanine.
