DESMUTAGENIC SUBSTANCES AND THEIR PRODUCTION

摘要

Novel desmutagenic substances and their production are disclosed. The desmutagenic substances are a fibrous food constituent separated from corn fibres. These substances inactivate mutagens such as nitroallene and food pyrolysate mutagens. They may be produced by removing starch, protein or other material from corn fibre by enzymic, chemical or physical treatment or a combination thereof.
