2025
R., Jeya Shakila | T.S., Vasundhara
Biogenic amines viz., putrescine, cadaverine, histamine and tyramine, present in fresh, canned and salt-dried fishery products of Indian origin were analysed by means of TLC - densitometric method. Fresh fish and canned fishery products did not contain appreciable amounts of amines. On the other hand, salt-dried fishery products contained very high levels of biogenic amines. The histamine content in about 17% of the samples was above the maximum allowable limit of 20 mg%. Presence of potentiating amines, viz., putrescine and cadaverine in higher concentrations reflects that poor quality raw material was used for curing process.
