Formation of mutagens by sorbic acid-nitrite reaction: effects of reaction conditions on biological activities.
Mutation research 1980 NovSizes of these terms reflect their relevance to your search.
Conditions of the reaction between sorbic acid and sodium nitrite generating mutagenic principles were examined. In the rec-assay and the Ames reversion assay, the maximal mutagenic activity was obtained in a pH range of 3.5-4.2. Mutagenic and growth-inhibitor activities of five C-nitro and C-nitroso compounds were studied. The product Y, 2-methyl-1,4-dinitropyrrole, was the strongest mutagen among them.
