Abstract

In the current study, a comprehensive analysis of biogenic amines in white brined cheeses was conducted. BAs may accumulate in food in high concentrations via the activities of microorganisms that produce decarboxylation enzymes. Neither tryptamine, phenylethylamine, nor spermidine was detected in the monitored cheese samples. Biogenic amines were detected in 20 samples, with tyramine and spermine being the most abundant, particularly in Feta cheeses, where tyramine concentrations exceeded 100 mg/kg in three samples. In 25% of the tested cheeses, total concentration of all the monitored biogenic amines and polyamines exceeded the level of 100 mg/kg, which may be considered of toxicological significance to sensitive persons. Decarboxylase activity was identified in 94 isolates, including significant producers such as Levilactobacillus brevis and Enterococcus durans. The correlation between high total microbial counts and lactic acid bacteria suggests that these microorganisms play a critical role in biogenic amine production. Our findings highlight the importance of monitoring specific microbial populations to mitigate biogenic amine risks in cheese production.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
