Abstrakt: A novel enzyme-based colorimetric method for histamine determinationin fish meal was developed. It is based upon histamine oxidation by diamine oxidase and detection of the hydrogen peroxide generated using a peroxidase catalyzed reaction coupled with phenol-aminoantipyrine. At optimum assay conditions (temperature: 50 deg. C, pH: 9.0), thistechnique allowed the accurate quantification of histamine + putrescine + cadaverine levels (amine index) between 200 to 2000 ppm. The method represents a good alternative for the rapid detection of potentially toxic fish meal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
