Histamine Analysis

Histamine is produced by microbial decomposition of the amino acid histidine and is stored in the cells.

In perishable foodstuff like fish, sausages, cheese, wine or milk the concentration of histamine is an indicator for the freshness and ultimately for quality of the product.

The consumption of histamine-containing food can lead to serious poisoning. This is why it is absolutely necessary
to have quick and reliable controls for the histamine concentration in both food and feed.
