Description of the research topic:
Biogenic amines are important nitrogen compounds of biological importance, they can be found in both raw and processed foods. Biogenic amines play important roles in many human and animal physiological functions, such as regulation of body temperature, stomach volume, stomach pH and brain activity, they also are indispensable components of living cells and are important in the regulation of nucleic acid function and protein synthesis and probably also in the stabilization of membranes. However biogenic amines in foods are of concern in relation to both food spoilage and food safety, and are related to different intolerance to humans (sensitive peoples), by inducing different food intoxications the symptoms of which are the same as allergies. Fermented foods like cheese and dairy products, fermented sausage, which are one of most food products where biogenic amines can be produced, are highly consumed in Kosovo but there is no research done for the determining of biogenic amines in those foods. For this reason, it is important to detect these biogenic amines, and to find ways to reduce them in fermented products in Kosovo. The scope of research is to show which biogenic amines are present in common fermented foods produced in Kosovo in traditional and industrial way. Qualitative and quantitative determination of biogenic amines will be done by ion exchange chromatography (IEC) following post-column derivatisation with ninhydrin using automatic amino acid analyser.
This research will point out kind and what quantity of biogenic amines occur in the most common fermented foods in Kosovo, what kind of technologies should be used to reduce biogenic amines in the most common fermented foods in Kosovo and what recommendations/regulations are needed on biogenic amines in foods to avoid potential risk for human health?
