Twelve white and ten brown sufu products sold in the supermarkets in southern Taiwan were purchased and tested to determine the occurrence of histamine and histamine-forming bacteria. The levels of pH, salt content, and aerobic plate count (APC) in all samples ranged from 4.6 to 6.6, 6.2% to 12.0%, and 3.0 to 7.9logCFU/g, respectively. None of these samples contained total coliform and Escherichia coli. Although the average content for each of the nine biogenic amines in all samples was less than 5mg/100g, only one brown sufu sample had histamine content (15.8mg/100g) greater than the 5.0mg/100g allowable limit suggested by the US Food and Drug Administration. Two histamine-producing bacterial strains capable of producing 1.33mg/100ml and 1.34mg/100ml of histamine in trypticase soy broth (TSB) supplemented with 1.0% l-histidine (TSBH) were identified as Bacillus subtilis by 16S rDNA sequencing with PCR amplification.
