Investigation of The Genotoxicity of Ponceau 4R in Drosophila Melanogaster Using the Smart Test and Effects of Some Plants Extracts Against the DNA Damage
Abstract:In this study, genotoxic effects of Ponceau 4R (E 124) was investigated in vivo using Drosophila melanogaster Meigen in the laboratory experiments. The food coloring in 25‰, 50‰ and 75‰ concentrations were added to food medium of Drosophila during the larval stage and the mutant wing spot numbers were evaluated using the wing spot test, namely SMART (somatic mutation and recombination test). The food colourings are the food additives which are used for increasing the appearance of food and beverages.In SMART, … Show more
