Abstract
Antimutagenicity on the Trp-P 2-induced mutagenicity to Salmonella typ himurium TA 98 of water extracts, ethanol extracts, and gummy material s prepared from four root crops, nagaimo (Chinese yam, Dioscorea oppos ita Thumb.), jinenjo (D. japonica Thunb.), satoimo (tare, Colocasia es culenta (L.) Schott) and processed tare (freeze dried ''Poi'') was exa mined. Each preparation showed its characteristic antimutagenic effect against the mutagenicity of Trp-P 2. Gummy material from processed ta re showed the highest inhibition of 60% among the specimens used.
