Abstract: Not only do biogenic amines present in aquatic products reduce the quality and shorten the shelf life of aquatic products, but also excessive biogenic amines pose serious threats to consumers’ health. In this context, establishing a safe and efficient biogenic amines control system is of great practical significance to guarantee the quality and safety of aquatic products. This paper begins with a summary of the formation, harms and limit standards of biogenic amines in aquatic products, focusing on the recent progress in the development of control techniques for biogenic amines based on processing techniques, food composition regulation and food antibacterial packaging, in order to provide a reference for establishing a more safe and efficient biogenic amines control system.

Key words: aquatic products; biogenic amines; processing techniques; food additives; antibacterial packaging
