Mutagenicity of UV-irradiated maltol in Salmonella typhimurium.
We investigated the photomutagenicity of maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one) in bacterial cells. Maltol has a caramel-butterscotch odour and is used as a food additive to impart flavour to bread and cakes. Unirradiated maltol was not mutagenic up to 5 mg/plate in the Ames test. When maltol was irradiated with either UVA (a black light, 320-400 nm, 230 microW/cm(2)) for 5-30 min or UVC (a...
متن کاملLack of mutagenicity to Salmonella typhimurium of some Fusarium mycotoxins.
The mutagenicity of eight Fusarium toxins (mono-, di-, and triacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and moniliformin) and of two positive controls (aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin) to histidine-requiring strains TA 98, 100, 1535, and 1537 of Salmonella typhimurium was tested both with and without metabolic activation. Both aflatoxin B1 and sterigma...
متن کاملMutagenicity study of butachlor and its metabolites using Salmonella typhimurium.
Butachlor is the most commonly used herbicide in Taiwan and many other countries. It has been reported to be an indirect mutagen and carcinogen in various in vitro assay systems. Previous investigation has also demonstrated that butachlor stimulates cell proliferation, transforms normal embryonic cells, and induces stomach tumors in Spraque-Dawley rats. However, the mechanism of butachlor carci...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of irradiated Salmonella typhimurium cells and endotoxin.
The effects of high doses of radiation (1, 5, or 20 Mrad) on the toxicity, pyrogenicity, and immunogenicity of Salmonella typhimurium cells and endotoxin were studied. Toxicity decreased progressively after exposure to 1, 5, or 20 Mrad. The lethal effect of 1-Mrad exposed cells was greater than that of heat-, acetone-, or alcohol-killed preparations. An amount of 5 Mrad is about a 50% end point...
متن کاملUltraviolet (UV-C) inactivation of Enterococcus faecium, Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium in porcine plasma
The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an ultraviolet (UV-C, 254 nm) irradiation system on reducing the load of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), Salmonella choleraesuis (S. choleraesuis) resistant to streptomycin and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) inoculated in sterile porcine plasma and then subjected to different UV-C irradiation doses (750, 1500, 3000, 6000...
