Amino acid decarboxylation caused by biogenic amines, as well as to synthesize in our bodies and can be taken with food. Besides naturally present in fruits and vegetables protein-rich food and maturation of the fermented or degradation as a result may occur. Many microorganisms that cause reducing amino acid with decarboxylase enzyme and formation of biogenic amine was isolated in foods. Biogenic amines, largely meat products such as sausages and fish products, includingcheese, beer, wine and fermented foods, pickles, yeast extract and are present in many products. Due to the increase of conciousness of food hygiene and healthy nutrition, the presence of biogenic amines in foods is increasing emphasis on both food security and food spoilage for consumers. Biogenic amines in foods are important for two reasons. These are the amount of biogenic amines is considered as quality indicators and the presence of risky toxic health effects. In thisstudy the formation and the health effects of biogenic amines were investigated.
