Health & Welfare
While freezing, salting, smoking and irradiation can minimize growth biogenic amine formation, special care from harvest through consumption can prevent scombrotoxin poisoning.
Health & Welfare
Since biogenic amines are a health issue in seafood, harvesters and processors should understand what conditions encourage their formation, where they form in fish, and how they are affected by bacterial flora.
Health & Welfare
Without proper control of seafood handling and processing, high amino acid content and bacterial activity can rapidly elevate concentrations of biogenic amines like scombrotoxins.
