Test material

Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

64519-82-0

Cas Number:

64519-82-0

IUPAC Name:

64519-82-0

Details on test material:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): isomalt (mixture of α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,6-D-sorbitol and α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-D-mannitol; SZ-i-rH 5093)
- Analytical purity: no data
- Impurities (identity and concentrations): minor saccharides and saccharide alcohols (main components: sorbitol, mannitol) (not further specified)
- Lot/batch No.: SZ-i-rH 5093

A special batch was produced for the conducted study in which the content of minor components occuring during the production process was greatly exagerated to the maximum feasible content.
Composition of the test material (batch SZ-i-rH 5093):
α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-D-mannitol (52.5%), α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,6-D-sorbitol (36%), α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-D-sorbitol (2.1%), sorbitol + mannitol (7.5%), (glucosyl)2-fructose (isomelezitose) (0.4%) and (glucosyl)2-sorbitol or (glucosyl)2-mannitol (0.5%) (as provided in TNO report V 95.660)

Doses / concentrations

Doses / concentrations 1

Remarks:

Doses / Concentrations:
2.5, 5 and 10%
Basis:
nominal in diet

Doses / concentrations 2

Remarks:

Doses / Concentrations:
1.25, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg bw/day
Basis:
nominal in diet
calculated based on the average daily food consumption of 5 g/100 g bw (WHO, 1987)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

10

Control animals:

other: 10% starch ... (see attached file)

Positive control(s):

mitomycin C
- Justification for choice of positive control(s): due to the known properties of inducing micronuclei, mitomycin C was selected as the appropriate positive control
- Route of administration: intraperitoneal
- Doses / concentrations: 1.5 mg/kg bw

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Tissue: bone marrow
Cell type: bone marrow cells

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: The highest dose group represented an overall intake of isomalt of more than 5 times the maximum limit dose that needs to be investigated in the micronucleus test according to the OECD Guideline 474 (1 mg/kg bw for treatments longer than 14 days).

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
GENOTOXICITY: The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes per 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes was determined in test and control groups.
CYTOTOXICITY: The incidence of polychromatic erythrocytes per 1000 erythrocytes was compared in control and test groups.
