A number of common foods contain appreciable levels of amines, such as serotonin, epinephrine, tyramine, tryptamine, histamine and dopamine. These compounds are referred to collectively as pressor amines because they act as potent vasoconstrictors and thereby elevate the blood pressure. So, this work has been carried out to investigate the conditions which lead to removal of the biogenic amines through the model system. Biogenic amines; histamine and tyramine, from some foods such as tomato, strawberry, banana and mango are removed in order to prevent their allergy effect. Histamine and tyramine have been affected by pyrogallol, catechol, starch, ascorbic and chlorogenic acids at different levels with different conditions. Some natural additives showed an effective effect on disappearance of histamine and tyramine.
