12 permitted food colours in use were screened for geno-toxicity. Mitotic gene conversion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as the end-point. Each food colour was tested in stationary-phase as well as log-phase cells but without microsomal activation. These food colours did not cause any increase in mitotic gene conversion in diploid yeast BZ 34.
对12种允许使用的食用色素进行了基因毒性筛查。以酿酒酵母中的有丝分裂基因转换作为检测终点。每种食用色素在稳定期细胞和对数期细胞中进行了测试,但未进行微粒体活化。这些食用色素在二倍体酵母BZ 34中未导致有丝分裂基因转换增加。
