Magnetic immunochromatographic test for histamine detection in wine
2019
Histamine, a biogenic amine, is abundant in fermented foods and beverages, notably wine. A high intake of this monoamine may produce adverse reactions in humans, which may be severe in individuals with a reduced capacity to catabolise extrinsic histamine. Thus, control of histamine concentration during wine production and before distribution is advisable. Simple, rapid, point-of-use bioanalytical platforms are needed because traditional methods for the detection and quantification of histamine are expensive and time-consuming. This work applies the lateral flow immunoassay technique to histamine detection. Superparamagnetic particle labels, and an inductive sensor designed to read the test line in the immunoassay, enable magnetic quantification of the molecule. The system is calibrated with histamine standards in the interval of interest for wine production. A commercial optical strip reader is used for comparison measurements. The lateral flow system has a limit of detection of 1.2 and 1.5 mg/L for the inductive and optical readers, respectively. The capability of the inductive system for histamine quantification is demonstrated for wine samples at different processing points (at the end of alcoholic fermentation, at the end of malolactic fermentation, in freshly bottled wine, and in reserve wine). The results are validated by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography.
