A　rapid　and　sensitive　method　was　established　for　the　analysis　of　biogenic　amines　(tryptamine,　histamine,　tyramine,　spermidine　and　spermine)　in　foods　by　capillary　electrochromatography　(CEC)　coupled　with　laser　induced　fluorescence　(LIF)　detection,　using　4-fluoro-7-　nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole　(NBD-F)　as　the　derivatization　reagent.　The　biogenic　amines　were　derivatized　by　NBD-F　with　50　mmol　/　L　borate　buffer　solution　(pH　8.0)　at　75　°C　for　25　min.　The　obtained　derivatives　of　biogenic　amines　were　separated　on　a　packed　C18　capillary　column　with　a　mobile　phase　consisting　of　acetonitrile-ammonium　acetate　(20　mmol　/　L,　pH　8.0)　(75　:25,　v　/　v)　and　the　flow　rate　of　0.03　mL　/　min.　A　supplementary　pressure　of　6.9　MPa　and　a　separation　voltage　of　-8　kV　were　applied.　The　limits　of　detection　(LODs,　S　/　N　=3)　were　0.1-1.0　μg　/　L,　with　spiked　recoveries　of　78.3%-113.9%.　The　method　could　be　applied　to　detect　biogenic　amines　in　processed　and　fermented　foods.　Statistical　comparison　of　the　results　with　those　of　the　reference　HPLC　method　showed　good　agreement.　It　reveals　some　advantages　on　the　sensitivity　and　analysis　speed,　which　are　significant　to　trace　residue　analysis　of　biogenic　amines　in　foods.
