Abstract

Three liquid and a powdered commercial caramels were tested for mutagenicity with the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The aqueous solution, acidic and basic organic extracts of each commercial caramel were tested with and without microsomal activation by liver S-9 preparation from Aroclor-treated rats. None of the samples tested exhibited significant mutagenicity over a wide range of concentrations.
