Abstract

Histamine is one of the most important and toxic biogenic amine in food. It is produced during bacterial decarboxylation of the histidine present in fish muscles. The key actions to prevent production of histamine are adequate refrigeration. It is also important to respect the time and low temperature during unloading, transportation, storage, and processing of fish. Determination of
histamine is important not only because of its toxicity for humans, but also as an indicator of the freshness of fish and fish products.
According to national legislation which is harmonized from EU legislation (Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs), Food Safety Competent authority based on annual official control plan, collect the samples of fish and fish products from import, in order to monitor presence of histamin.
Histamine concentration in samples collected from fish and fish products did not exceed the allowable limit, indicating that they are safe for consumers.
