Abstract excerpt
Cooking beef patties results in the formation of mutagens detectable by Salmonella typhimurium TA98 with metabolic activation. Decreased mutagenic activity results when frying beef with added soy protein concentrates (SPC). The reduction in mutagenicity takes place during the cooking process. Whereas fried beef hamburgers show high mutagenic activity, by comparison, similarly fried soy-hamburgers have much less...
