Influence of Essential Oils on Inhibiting Biogenic Amine-Producing Bacteria in Xinjiang Smoked Horsemeat Sausage by Ruiting Li, Fanfan Zhang, Shiling Lu

“…(1) Background: Xinjiang smoked horsemeat sausage is a popular food; however, bio-genic amine (BA) production is a concern for food safety. (2) Methods: the present study selected the three most toxic BAs for food safety (histamine, tyramine, and putrescine) and determined the bacteria that produce them. (3) Results: After 24 h of incubation, fifteen isolated strains, especially <i>Enterobacter ludwigii MT705841</i> and <i>Enterobacter bugandensis MT705832</i> produced putrescine (485.52 μg/mL and 408.95 μg/mL, respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.05); eight isolated strains, especially <i>Proteus vulgaris MT705833</i> and <i>Bacillus subtilis MT705839</i> produced histamine (63.86 μg/mL and 30.40 μg/mL, respectively, <i>p</i> < 0.05); and 14 isolated strains, especially <i>Staphylococcus saprophyticus MT705831</i> and <i>Proteus penneri MT705835</i> produced tyramine (482.26 μg/mL and 497.76 μg/mL, respectively, <i>p</i> > 0.05). …”
