Biogenic amines (BA) are chemical compounds formed in foods that contain protein, allowing the foods to undergo a bacterial degradation process. Biogenic amines are labeled as toxic food because its consumption exceeding the FDA regulation (50 mg/kg) can be harmful to humans. Some countries also hav...

Biogenic amines (BA’s) are nitrogenous organic bases, occurring mainly in fermented food and beverages as a result of free amino acids bacterial decarboxylation. This reaction involves the transformation of the amino acid to biogenic amine after removal of the carboxyl group by decarboxylase enzyme ...

Monoamines are a class of neuromodulators that are crucial for a variety of brain functions, including control of mood, movement, sleep and cognition. From mammals to insects, the nervous system is enriched in monoamines such as dopamine, serotonin and melatonin, analytes which range from being high...

Current metabolomics research utilizes liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses to handle biological samples that contain thousands of quantifiable metabolites. However, no LC-MS/MS condition is suitable for directly analyzing all metabolites. An alternative approach is to ...

Primary aromatic amines (AAs) are chemicals containing an aromatic ring directly bonded to an amine functional group (−NH2) at ortho, meta, or para positions [1, 2]. Aniline is the parent compound from which hundreds of AA derivatives are manufactured. The estimated annual global production of anili...
