The test chemical was analyzed for purity by Midwest Research Institute (MRI).Five doses of test chemical, together with the appropriate concurrent solvent and positive controls, were tested on each tester strain without metabolic activation and also with activation by induced rat and hamster liver S9 preparations. The test bacterial cultures were grown overnight in Oxoid nutrient broth no. 2 and were removed from incubation when they reached a density of (1-2) × 109 cells/ml.On the day of use, all tester strain cultures were checked for genetic integrity.

Evaluation criteria:

The result was considered positive if at least a doubling in the mean number of revertants/plate of at least one tester strain was found.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):negative Negative (with and without)The test substance C.I Brilliant black BN ( food black 1) had shown non-mutagenic response in the test bacterial strain TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538. (with and without metabolic activation system).

Executive summary:

The mutagenic potency ofC.I Brilliant black BN( food black 1) was tested by the plate incorporation method usingSalmonella typhimuriumstrainTA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538. When the test bacterial strain is exposed with the test chemical for 48hrs, no mutagenic response was seen in any of the strains of Salmonella typhimurium(with and without metabolic activation system).
