Antimutagenic effect of volatile decomposition products from thermally oxidized linoleate.
The antimutagenic effect of volatile decomposition products from thermally oxidized linoleate on mutagenesis by UV irradiation was investigated in Escherichia coli B/r WP2. When added to an agar medium, these products greatly reduced the number of Trp+ revertants. The same antimutagenic effect was observed by acrolein, 2-hexenal, 2-heptenal, 2-nonenal and 2,4-decadienal; these unsaturated aldehydes were components of volatile products.
