Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation. The test substance solution (0.1 ml) was dispersed into a test tube followed by either 0.5 ml of S9 mix (in the presence of metabolic activation) or 0.1 M Na-phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, in absence of metabolic activation), and 0.1 ml of each bacterial culture.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: the content of each test tube were pre-incubated at 37 °C for 20 minutes with shaking, mixed with 2.0 ml of the top agar and eventually distributed onto the surface of minimal glucose agar plates.
- Exposure duration: 48 hours.
- Temperature of incubation: 37 °C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: two mutagenicity tests were run; three replicates for each dose in mutagenicity test. The dose-determination was carried out in a single plate.

COLONY COUNTING: the colonies were counted manually at 5000 μl/plate with metabolic activation in the dose-determination test and in the main test. As for the rest of the plates, the colonies were counted using a colony analyzer CA-11S and the counted values were adjusted to correct the area and counting loss.

MEASUREMENT OF VIABLE CELLS: the turbidity in the bacteria suspension was measured by spectrophotometer. The number of viable cells was calculated from the optical density.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: all of the plates were observed for the presence or absence of cytotoxicity to bacteria by the test substance under a stereomicroscope (x40).

DETERMINATION OF PRECIPITATION: precipitation of the test substance was observed by unaided eyes.

STERILITY TEST: the sterility conditions of S9 mix and the test substance solution were checked. The same volume of S9 mix or the test substance solution as used in the experiment was spread on a minimal glucose agar plate using a top agar solution. The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37 °C and then checked the presence or absence of the bacterial contamination by unaided eyes.

Evaluation criteria:

When the test substance induces a dose-dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies to at least twice as many as that of the negative control and the increase is reproducible, the test is judged positive in the test system.

MAIN TEST
Throughout the tests, the test substance did not induce any increases in the number of revertant colonies is at least twice as many as that of the negative control for any of the bacterial strains at any dose levels either with or without metabolic activation; therefore the test substance was concluded to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of the test.

all strains/cell types tested

The test substance solutions and S9 mix were sterile in the tests.

Cytotoxicity was observed at and above dose levels of 9.77 μl/plate in TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains without metabolic actiation and at and above dose levels of 39.1 μl/plate in TA98 strain without metabolic activation and in TA1535 and TA1537 strains with metabolic activation.

Precipitation of the test substance was observed at 5000 μg/plate with metabolic activation.

Throughout the tests, there were not unexpected factors that might have adversely affected the reliability of the test.

Executive summary:

The study was designed to assess a mutagenicity potential of dihydrofarnesal using a bacterial reverse mutation test system. Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were tested with and without metabolic activation system, according to the OECD guideline 471 (21^st July, 1997).

A dose-determination test was carried out in a single plate in order to determine the doses to be tested in the main test. The main mutagenicity test was performed in twice, three replicates for each dose, and it was performed using the pre-incubation method. Sterility conditions, cytotoxicity and precipitation were assessed.

Throughout the tests, the test substance did not induce any increases in the number of revertant colonies is at least twice as many as that of the negative control for any of the bacterial strains at any dose levels either with or without metabolic activation; therefore the test substance was concluded to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of the test. The test substance solutions and S9 mix were sterile in the tests.

Cytotoxicity was observed at and above dose levels of 9.77 μl/plate in TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains without metabolic actiation and at and above dose levels of 39.1 μl/plate in TA98 strain without metabolic activation and in TA1535 and TA1537 strains with metabolic activation.

Precipitation of the test substance was observed at 5000 μg/plate with metabolic activation.
