Abstract
Due to the high market demand that instant soup has among the Mexican population, the question arose whether it may cause any mutagenic effects after its consumption. The aim of this study was to analyze the cyto-genotoxic effects caused after the exposure of this food product compounds to meristemal root cells of Vicia faba and to peripheral blood cells of CD-1 mice. To determine this effect, it was performed both analysis of micronuclei as well as toxicity degree by using these two biological models. The interpretation of our statistical significance tests (ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparison p<0.05), allowed us to conclude that nor the soup chemical compounds neither the packaging induce clastogenic damage but they cause a slight delay on cell division to V. faba; nevertheless the compounds can cause clastogenic damage and cytotoxicity to peripheral blood cells of CD-1 mice.
