Summary

Histamine-producing bacteria were isolated from albacore stored at 0, 25, 30, and 37 °C, then screened using Niven's differential medium; their histamine production was confirmed by high-pressure liquid chromatography analysis. The optimum temperature for growth of histamine-producing bacteria was 25 °C. Neither microbial growth nor histamine formation was detected at 4 °C. Cadaverine, putrescine, and phenylethylamine were detected with microbial growth in the tuna fish infusion broth medium. The optimum temperature for the formation of the latter biogenic amines was found to be 25 °C, as was the case for histamine.
