Mutagenicity of instant coffee on cultured Chinese hamster lung cells

F Nakasato et al. Mutat Res. 1984 Oct.

Abstract

Coffee showed mutagenic activity in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells as assessed by using diphtheria toxin resistance as a selective marker. Most of the mutagenicity was suppressed in the presence of sodium bisulfite. The contribution of methylglyoxal to the total mutagenicity of coffee was less than 3%.
