Degradation of histamine by the halotolerant Staphylococcus carnosus FS19 isolate obtained from fish sauce

Histamine is found in many fermented food products and may have detrimental effects on the health of its consumers. Histamine and other amines are degraded by the oxidative deamination activity of certain microorganisms. In this study, the growth characteristics and histamine-degrading activity of a...

description Histamine is found in many fermented food products and may have detrimental effects on the health of its consumers. Histamine and other amines are degraded by the oxidative deamination activity of certain microorganisms. In this study, the growth characteristics and histamine-degrading activity of a Staphylococcus carnosus FS19 isolate derived from fish sauce were investigated. This bacterium exhibits optimal growth at 35 °C, pH 8 and 9% sodium chloride when cultivated in tryptic soy broth. The histamine-degrading activity of the S. carnosus FS19 isolate was optimised at 40 °C and pH 6 in 9% buffered sodium chloride. When added to fish sauce samples, this bacterium exhibits remarkable histamine-degrading activity. The histamine concentration was reduced by approximately 15.1% and 13.8% in the fish sauce samples that contained 18% and 21% salt, respectively. However, no histamine degradation was observed in samples with a salt content greater than 21%. In addition, a slight degradation of other amines, including putrescine and cadaverine, was also observed in some of the samples. In contrast, tyramine degradation did not occur in any of the samples. Therefore, S. carnosus FS19 is a culture that could potentially reduce the histamine content of fermented fish products.
