MUTAGENICIDADE E ANTIMUTAGENICIDADE DOS PRINCIPAIS CORANTES PARA ALIMENTOS
Palavras-chave:
mutagênese, antimutagênicos, corantes de alimentosResumo
Muitos compostos presentes nos alimentos, tanto naturalmente, como adicionados ou produzidos durante o processamento, já foram testados quanto à mutagenicidade ou antimutagenicidade em diferentes sistemas experimentais. O grande número de corantes para alimentos, naturais ou sintéticos, tem levado os pesquisadores a avaliar a mutagenicidade e/ou antimutagenicidade desses compostos. Alguns corantes sintéticos apresentaram potencial mutagênico e seu uso foi proibido em alguns países. Muitos corantes naturais testados apresentaram potencial antimutagênico em pelo menos um sistema-teste, entretanto, isto não quer dizer que os corantes naturais são inócuos. O corante natural curcumina, por exemplo, apresentou potencial antimutagênico nos testes in vivo e foi mutagênico nos testes in vitro. Este paradoxo ressalta a importância de uma avaliação criteriosa e ampla na avaliação da possível atividade mutagênica e/ou antimutagênica dos corantes.
