Carcinogenesis Bioassay of Tara Gum (CAS No. 39300-88-4) in F344 Rats and B6C3F1 Mice (Feed Study)

摘要

A carcinogenesis bioassay of tara gum, a potential stabilizer for cosmetics and foods, was conducted by feeding diets containing 25,000 or 50,000ppm of the test substance to 50 F344 rats and 50 B6C3F1 mice of either sex for 103 weeks. Groups of 50 untreated rats and mice of either sex served as controls. Under the conditions of this bioassay, tara gum was not carcinogenic for F344 rats or B6C3F1 mice of either sex.
