Inhibitory effects of flavourings on mutagenesis induced by chemicals in bacteria
Abstract
The antimutagenic potential of twenty-five flavourings was tested against the activity of several kinds of chemical mutagens in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Anisaldehyde, ethylvanillin and vanillin showed marked antimutagenic effects on mutagenesis induced by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide, furylfuramide (AF-2), captan or methylglyoxal in E. coli WP2s. However, they were not effective against mutations provoked by 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) or 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) in S. typhimurium TA98. Despite the decrease in the number of mutants, a remarkable increase was observed in the survival of mutagen-treated WP2s cells after exposure to these flavourings. We assume that these compounds may act as bio-antimutagens by enhancing an error-free recombinational repair system, because this reactivation of survival was strictly dependent on the recA gene function but not on the lexA and uvrA gene functions.

“Vanillin, which shows antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, was found in A. graveolens at a rate of 1.84 mg/g. Antimutagenic properties of vanillin have been studied by many researchers. Ohta et al.48 showed the antimutagenic effect of vanillin against induced mutagenesis in Escherichia coli.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
