Mutagenicity of instant coffee on cultured Chinese hamster lung cells
Mutation Research
|October 1, 1984
Abstract:
Coffee showed mutagenic activity in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells as assessed by using diphtheria toxin resistance as a selective marker. Most of the mutagenicity was suppressed in the presence of sodium bisulfite. The contribution of methylglyoxal to the total mutagenicity of coffee was less than 3%.
