In the present study, effects of several food colorings, namely (Ponceau 4R (E 124), Tartrazine 102), and Pea green 102-E 133), were investigated in vivo using wing spot test, SMART (somatic mutation recombination test), Drosophila melanogaster. Food colorings are additives, which used for improving appearance beverages. SMART, multiple hair (mwh), flare (flr3), beaded serrate (BdS) marker gene...
