Surówka K, Rzepka M. Biogenic amines as an indicator of rye leaven quality during production and storage. Food Chem 2024; 452:139523. [PMID: 38728889 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Rye leaven, the basic constituent of sour rye soup ('żurek' or white borsch), was obtained through three methods of initiating lacto-fermentation of rye flour. Optimal concentrations of NaCl (1.5%) and garlic (0.5%) were selected by utilizing the response surface methodology. During the production and storage of leaven at 10 °C and 20 °C, the secalin proteins of rye flour degraded significantly and the concentration of free amino acids increased, making the rye leaven an environment potentially conducive to the formation of biogenic amines. Putrescine (max. conc: 116.7 mg kg-1) and tyramine (max. conc: 63.4 mg kg-1) were the amines that occurred in the largest amounts in the leavens. The final concentration of histamine (after 150 days of storage) did not exceed 22 mg kg-1. Regardless of the method of initiation of fermentation, the products that contained fewer biogenic amines better retained their sensory characteristics (r ≤ -0.89, p < 0.05) and had a higher number of lactic acid bacteria (r ≤ -0.66, p < 0.05).

Saha Turna N, Chung R, McIntyre L. A review of biogenic amines in fermented foods: Occurrence and health effects. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24501. [PMID: 38304783 PMCID: PMC10830535 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are low-molecular decarboxylation products of amino acids formed during microbial fermentation. Several fermented foods may contain BAs such as histamine, tyramine, and/or phenylethylamine, at levels above documented toxic doses. Dietary exposure to foods containing high levels of BAs is associated with many adverse health effects, such as migraines, elevated blood pressure, and tachycardia. BA-mediated toxicity may occur at levels a hundred times below regulatory and suggested toxic doses, depending on an individual's sensitivity and factors such as alcohol consumption and certain medications. Although BAs occur in a wide variety of fermented foods, food safety and public health professionals are not well informed about the potential health risks and control strategies in these foods. In this review, we highlight the health risks and symptoms linked to BA exposures, the BA levels found in different fermented foods, regulatory and suggested toxic doses, and risk mitigation strategies to inform food industry and public health professionals' practice.

Abstract
This review summarizes current studies on fermented vegetables, analyzing the changes in nutritional components during pickling, the health benefits of fermented vegetables, and their safety concerns. Additionally, the review provides an overview of the applications of emergent non-thermal technologies for addressing these safety concerns during the production and processing of fermented vegetables. It was found that vitamin C would commonly be lost, the soluble protein would degrade into free amino acids, new nutrient compositions would be produced, and the flavor correlated with the chemical changes. These changes would be influenced by the variety/location of raw materials, the original bacterial population, starter cultures, fermentation conditions, seasoning additions, and post-fermentation processing. Consuming fermented vegetables benefits human health, including antibacterial effects, regulating intestinal bacterial populations, and promoting health (anti-cancer effects, anti-diabetes effects, and immune regulation). However, fermented vegetables have chemical and biological safety concerns, such as biogenic amines and the formation of nitrites, as well as the existence of pathogenic microorganisms. To reduce hazardous components and control the quality of fermented vegetables, unique starter cultures, high pressure, ultrasound, cold plasma, photodynamic, and other technologies can be used to solve these problems.

Inhibition of Perilla frutescens Essential Oil on Pellicle Formation of Candida tropicalis and Pichia kluyveri and Its Effect on Volatile Compounds in Sichuan Pickles. Foods 2023; 12:foods12081593. [PMID: 37107388 PMCID: PMC10137390 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Pellicle formation is the most typical characteristic of deteriorating fermented vegetable products. Perilla frutescens essential oil (PEO) is widely used as a useful natural preservative. However, few studies have addressed the antifungal activity and mechanism of PEO in pellicle formation microorganisms, and it is still unclear whether it can inhibit pellicle formation and affect its volatile compounds in Sichuan pickles. The current study showed that PEO can inhibit pellicle formation during fermentation of Sichuan pickles as it had significant antifungal activity against the pellicle formation microorganisms Candida tropicalis SH1 and Pichia kluyveri SH2. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PEO against C. tropicalis SH1 and P. kluyveri SH2 was determined to be 0.4 μL/mL, and the minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) were 1.6 μL/mL and 0.8 μL/mL, respectively. The antifungal mechanism was activated as a result of damage to the cell membrane, an increase in the cell permeability, a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential, and the inhibition of ATPase activity. Meanwhile, the addition of PEO to Sichuan pickles can enrich the profiles of volatile compounds during fermentation, including limonene, myrcene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, perilla ketone, heptanal, hexanal, α-thujone and β-terpineol and thus improve the overall sensory acceptability. These results indicated that PEO has the potential to be used as a novel food preservative to control pellicle formation in fermented vegetables.

Abstract
Nitrite, ethyl carbamate, and biogenic amines in fermented vegetables are considered harmful compounds. In this study, the concentration of the nitrite, ethyl carbamate, and biogenic amines in four different varieties of fermented vegetables in China was determined. The results show that the nitrite concentration in the fermented cabbage was the highest, followed by fermented mustard, fermented bamboo, and fermented radish. Additionally, nitrite concentration in two fermented cabbage samples and one fermented mustard sample exceeded the maximum allowed residue limit (20 mg/kg) suggested by China’s National Food Safety Standards. However, only one fermented cabbage sample had a very low level of ethyl carbamate (<10 μg/kg). Otherwise, higher biogenic amines were found in the samples of fermented cabbage, fermented bamboo, and fermented mustard. Additionally, the concentration of biogenic amines in some samples exceeded the recommended limit. On the contrary, biogenic amines in fermented radish samples were relatively low. Therefore, the concentration of nitrite and biogenic amine should be closely monitored and controlled during the vegetable fermentation processes, especially for the fermentation processes of bamboo, cabbage, and mustard.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are involved in producing a considerable number of fermented products consumed worldwide. Many of those LAB fermented foods are recognized as beneficial for human health due to probiotic LAB or their metabolites produced during food fermentation or after food digestion. In this review, we aim to gather and discuss available information on the health-related effects of LAB-fermented foods. In particular, we focused on the most widely consumed LAB-fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, cheese, and plant-based products such as sauerkrauts and kimchi.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) and nitrites are both considered harmful compounds for customer health, and are closely correlated with the microorganisms in fermented mustard (FM). In this study, BAs and nitrite contents in fifteen FM samples from different brands were analyzed. The concentrations of cadaverine in one sample and of histamine in one sample were above the toxic level. Moreover, five FM samples contained a high level of nitrite, exceeding the maximum residue limit (20 mg/kg) suggested by the National Food Safety Standard. Then, this study investigated bacterial and fungal communities by high-throughput sequencing analysis. Firmicutes and Basidiomycota were identified as the major bacteria and fungi phylum, respectively. The correlations among microorganisms, BAs and nitrite were analyzed. Typtamine showed a positive correlation with Lactobacillus and Pseudomonas. Cadaverine and nitrite is positively correlated with Leuconostoc. Furthermore, thirteen strains were selected from the samples to evaluate the accumulation and degradation properties of their BAs and nitrite. The results indicated that the Lactobacillus isolates, including L. plantarum GZ-2 and L. brevis SC-2, can significantly reduce BAs and nitrite in FM model experiments. This study not only assessed the contents of BAs and nitrite in FM samples, but also provided potential starter cultures for BAs and nitrite control in the FM products industry.
