| Abstract: | The activities of various concentrations of 4 acidity regulators (anhydrous citric acid, phosphoric acid, malic acid and lactic acid) used in food industries in Iraq was assayed using the Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity assay. None of the samples was mutagenic in the absence or in the presence of S9 to any of the tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium. |
