Popis: Current study was aimed to enhance the confidence of consumers as well as entrepreneurs towards food irradiation program.In this work, safety of high dose (25 kGy) irradiated meat samples (HDIMS) was ascertained by scoring mutation frequency through a long-term sub-culturing study in Escherichia coli MG1655 cells (ATCC 700926) up to 1500 generations (at 1%), 250 generations (at 5% and 10%) and human lymphoblast thymidine kinase heterozygote (TK6) cell line (ATCC CRL-8015) [at two gene loci, tkNone of the assays exhibited any induced mutation when analyzed at regular time intervals. RAPD analysis also did not indicate any change in its nucleotide sequence, ruling out the occurrence of any silent mutation. Thus, the present findings report absence of mutagenic effect of high dose irradiated meat samples.
