Abstract:Biogenic amines is compound of low molecular weight.Amines acid decarboxylation is the most common mode of synthsis of biogenic amines.They are found in fermented food,such as fermented sausages,pickled vegetable,cheese,yogurt and so on.The aim is to give an overview on the biogenic amines in fermented sausages,including the re- quirements for the accumulation of biogenic amines, the content of biogenic amines,the general mi- croorganisms related to accumulation of biogenic amines in fermented sausages.The methods that control the biogenic amines in fermented sausages are also put forward and in order to offer help to the further research of the biogenic amines in the fermented sausage in the future.
