Incidence of biogenic amines in foods implications for the Gambia

Abstract

Amines are found in food. Biogenic amines are a class of amines, which result from decarboxylation. They are food quality indicators. Health-wise biogenic amines play positive roles and have adverse effects as well; they are a public health concern. Certain conditions make it possible for them to be produced. These could be controlled for a better and improved food quality.
