Abstract

Fish is an important source of protein, minerals, vitamins and fatty acids and offers a unique and balanced nutritional source for all age groups. However, since fish is a very sensitive food product, if it is not stored properly, it starts to deteriorate immediately after leaving the water and biogenic amines may occur. The aim of this study was to determine the biogenic amine levels in four fish species Sardine {Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792)}, Haddock {Merlangius merlangus (Linnaeus, 1758)}, Mackerel {Scomber scombrus (Linnaeus, 1758)} and Tuna {Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758)} sold in the markets in the central districts of Şanlıurfa province. For this purpose, 20 fish of four different species were collected from the markets in the central districts of Şanlıurfa. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-FID) for heptilamine, putrescin, cadaverine,Histamine , tyramine and spermidine biogenic amines. Although the highest levels of Heptylamin, tyramine, cadaverine were detected in sardine species, there was no statistically significant difference between fish groups (p > 0.05). Heptylamin (48,254 mg/100 g), Tyramine (106,053 mg/100 g) and Cadaverine (121,756 mg/100 g) were highest in sardine fish samples. As a result, it was concluded that low levels of biogenic amines were detected in the fish sold in Şanlıurfa, the fish were stored at appropriate temperatures and conditions and the fish sold in the markets in Şanlıurfa province did not have any harmful effects on human health in terms of biogenic amines.
