Abstract excerpt
The formation of chemical species with DNA-damaging and mutagenic activity for bacterial test systems was detected in sorbic acid-nitrite mixtures. 1,4-Dinitro-2-methylpyrrole (NMP), one the main products resulting from the reaction between sorbic acid and nitrite, has mutagenic properties, and here its alkylating capacity was investigated. The conclusions drawn are as follows: (i) In aqueous medium, after the...
