[Mutagenicity of meat flavorings with natural and/or nature-identical flavorings].
The mutagenic potential of twenty commercially available meat flavours from three different producers was determined using the Ames test. The flavours contained natural and/or nature-identical components as recorded on their label. Twelve flavours showed mutagenic activity with at least one of the four employed test strains (TA1535, TA100, TA97, and TA98). Flavours containing natural components yielded positive results in this mutation test in all cases but one. On the other hand flavours produced from nature-identical substances with one exception did not demonstrate mutagenic effects.
