Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic bases found in food. The presence of high levels of BAs constitutes a potential public concern due to their physiological and toxicological effects. BAs are mostly analysed by liquid chromatography (LC) with pre and post column derivatization. LC coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) offers a great potential because it has the advantage that not derivatization process is needed. A LC-MS/MS method was developed and applied to the analysis of BAs in fresh food. BAs were used as a freshness index of meat to attest the performance of a new type of active packaging.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic bases found in food. The presence of high levels of BAs constitutes a potential public concern due to their physiological and toxicological effects. BAs are mostly analysed by liquid chromatography (LC) with pre and post column derivatization. LC coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) offers a great potential because it has the advantage that not derivatization process is needed. A LC-MS/MS method was developed and applied to the analysis of BAs in fresh food. BAs were used as a freshness index of meat to attest the performance of a new type of active packaging.File in questo prodotto:
