In addition, recent publications have reported that onion and its extract have many biological properties such as antimicrobial and antioxidant. Yellow and White Sweet Spanish onions belonging to Amaryllidaceae, are cultivated all over Iran as a condiment, ...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF MITODEPRESSIVE EFFECT OF SUNSET YELLOW USING Allium sativum ASSAY
The influence of a permitted yellow food colour, Sunset yellow –FCF on root tips of Allium sativum was investigated with a view to ascertaining its mitodepressive effect. Root tips of Allium sativum were treated with five concentrations of Sunset yellow like 100 ppm,250 ppm,500 ppm,750 ppm and 1000 ppm and with distilled water as control. The time of action of the respective concentration of so...
متن کاملClastogenic effects of synthetic food dyes using Salmonella typhimurium and Allium cepa test systems
The present study embodied the mutagenic/genotoxic potential of two most commonly used synthetic food dyes, viz., sky blue and orange red, employing Ames Salmonella histidine reversion point mutation assay and Allium cepa root chromosomal aberration assay. It was observed that sky blue and orange red dyes showed 6-fold increase in TA100 strain from the spontaneous count, whereas they showed non...
متن کاملThe Effect of Water Boiled in Aluminum Cookwares on Genomic Abnormalities in the Meristematic Cells of Onion Root
Introduction: One of the ways of human exposure to aluminum (Al) is Al food packaging materials and cookwares. Although many studies have examined the biotic influence of nanoparticles or ionic form of heavy metals, there are limited studies conducted on the possible health risks of metals in the form of alloy used for making utensils. In this study, the effect of water boiled in Al cookwares w...

The ZnCrFeO4 nanoparticles were synthesized as antiferromagnetic material using sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) certified that ZnCrFeO4 nanoparticles have single-phase cubic structure with a range of 50–100 nm in size. A facile and sensitive analytical method was developed for simultaneous determination of sun...
