Seafood is the most significant perishable commodity. Decomposition of seafood, especially during storage at elevated temperatures (48˚C), various amounts of selected biogenic amines is usually produced, depending on the fish species. Most common biogenic amines in seafood associated with spoilage are histamine, tyramine, putrescine and cadaverine which are formed by bacteria that decarboxylases the corresponding free amino acids. Histamine is known as a biogenic amine which is low molecular weight and possesses biological activity.
