Safflower Yellow and Kokum Red, two food colourings developed from natural plant products, were assessed in vivo for their clastogenic potential. Swiss albino male mice were exposed to the compounds through ip injections. Bone marrow cells isolated from femora were analysed for chromosome aberrations. The results show that the two food colourings were weakly clastogenic.
红花黄和紫铆红这两种由天然植物产品制成的食用色素，在体内对其致断裂潜力进行了评估。通过腹腔注射将这些化合物给予瑞士白化雄性小鼠。分析从股骨分离出的骨髓细胞的染色体畸变情况。结果表明，这两种食用色素具有较弱的致断裂性。
