Abstract excerpt
Two preparations of maltitol (4-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol), hydrogenated glucose syrups and maltitol crystal, were examined for genotoxic potential by a battery of short-term tests. In the bacterial reversion assay, maltitol induced no detectable revertants in any of the tester strains, Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, or Escherichia coli WP2/pKM101 at doses of 0.5-50 mg per...
