Abstract
Bioactive amines in foods are associated with beneficial health effects, but some can also cause food poisoning and intolerance. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and levels of nine bioactive amines in ten conventional and non-conventional fruits and vegetables (seriguela, marolo, custard apple, acerola, jabuticaba, starfruit, kale, ora-pro-nobis, almeirão-roxo, and serralha) using HPLC-FL. Putrescine was the prevalent amine in custard apple, acerola, and ora-pro-nobis; whereas spermidine was predominant in jabuticaba, starfruit, and kale; and tyramine in seriguela and marolo. Tryptamine was not detected in any sample. Histamine was only detected in ora-pro-nobis, and serotonin only in starfruit. Total amine contents ranged from 3.24 to 58.83 mg/kg, with the lowest levels in serralha and the highest in seriguela. The median contents of spermidine varied from 1.32 to 13.42 mg/kg, with the lowest levels in serralha and the highest in seriguela. The highest agmatine levels were found in acerola, starfruit and serralha. Based on the levels of amines, seriguela, marolo, custard apple, acerola, jabuticaba, and kale could be dietary sources of the polyamine spermidine; and starfruit a source of serotonin. However, individuals using monoamine-oxidase inhibitor drugs should limit the consumption of seriguela and marolo, due to the high tyramine levels, to avoid adverse effects. In a similar way, individuals with histamine intolerance should avoid the consumption of ora-pro-nobis.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
