dc.description.abstractThe objective of the present study was to apply highly sensitive botanical tests of mutagenicity (Vicia faba L. root tip mitosis test, micronucleus test, and A Ilium cepa L. root tip mitosis test) to assess in vitro the biological responses induced by food-coloring substances. The mutagenesis was evaluated using two different food-coloring agents which are Sunset Yellow (E 110) and Brilliant Black (E 151). For mutagenesis, four different concentrations (10, 200, 1000, 2000 ppm) of both food colorants were applied to plants by spraying and adding to the irrigation water. All experiments were carried out under controlled conditions in the laboratory. The results consistently showed that mutation levels increased, depending on the dosage, in all plant groups. In addition, while micronucleus frequency (MCN) significantly increased (p<0.05) and mitotic indexes significantly decreased (p<0.05) with the increasing dosages in Vicia faba L. and A Ilium cepa L. It was also detected that both food-coloring agents had genotoxic potential on plants with different sensitivities and Vicia faba L. or A Ilium cepa L. plants are appropriate for mutagenicity studies.
