Biogenic amines and nitrosamines control in food is not yet effective. They need a better traceability through all the whole chain production. The main objectives are to set-up and optimise innovative analytical methods to monitor nitrosamines and biogenic amines in brewing production chain. A method for the simultaneous determination of biogenic amines and a sensitive procedure for determining 5 N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA), N-nitrosodibuthylamine (NDBA) and nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR)) are described. Moreover, the main critical steps have been identified to reach a better knowledge on the origins of these contaminants and how they can be controlled.
