The antioxydants butylhydroxyanisol (BHA), butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and ethoxyquin (EMQ) were tested for mutagenicity in the so-called “Ames test”. The test was performed with and without the addition of microsomal mixed function oxidase system from rat liver. The compounds were found not to be mutagenic in this test. At high concentration of BHA and EMQ toxic effects on the growth of the bacteria were observed.
抗氧化剂丁基羟基茴香醚(BHA)、丁基羟基甲苯(BHT)和乙氧喹(EMQ)在所谓的“艾姆斯试验”中进行了致突变性测试。该试验在添加和不添加大鼠肝脏微粒体混合功能氧化酶系统的情况下进行。在该试验中发现这些化合物没有致突变性。在高浓度的BHA和EMQ下,观察到对细菌生长的毒性作用。
