Abstract excerpt
Like thermal processing, ionizing radiation can break molecular bonds and induce the formation of chemicals not found in the unprocessed product. Irradiation of foods containing palmitic acid can lead to the formation of 2-dodecylcyclobutanone (2-DCB). In this study, the Escherichia coli tryptophan reverse mutation assay was used to evaluate the capacity of 2-DCB to induce mutations. E. coli tester strains WP2...
