The production of biogenic amines by ''Brettanomyces'' is strain dependent. Relatively low levels of biogenic amines can be produced by various strains. Vigentini et al. (2008) found that 5 strains of ''B. bruxellensis'' were able to produce detectable levels of putrescine, cadaverine and spermidine. Most strains produced 0.4 mg/L or below of these biogenic amines, while one strain produced 1.2-1.3 mg/L of spermidine at 60 days, which reduced 0.70-0.85 mg/L at 95 days. In general, the maximum biogenic amines were produced between 40-60 days <ref>[https://academic.oup.com/femsyr/article/8/7/1087/492808 Physiological and oenological traits of different Dekkera/Brettanomyces bruxellensis strains under wine-model conditions.

Agnolucci et al. (2009) found similar results with 7 strains of ''B. bruxellensis''. None of the strains produced histamine, synephrine, tyramine or spermine. All of the strains produced under 1 mg/L of most biogenic amines, with hexylamine being produced more so in the range of 1.02-3.92 mg/L <ref>[https://linkwww.springersciencedirect.com/science/article/10.1007pii/s11274-017-2345-z S0168160509000488 Genetic diversity and physiological traits of Brettanomyces bruxellensis strains isolated from Tuscan Sangiovese wines.
