264 samples of foods and beverages from the German market in 1989-1990 were analysed for primary and secondary amines. Amines were determined as benzenesulphonyl chloride derivatives by gas chromatography with chemiluminescense detection. The mean daily intake of primary amines was calculated to be 29 mg/day for women and 37 mg/day for men. For secondary amines, the mean daily intake was 6 mg/day for women and 8 mg/day for men.
