Abstract
The antimutagenic effects of uninoculated milk and milks cultured with Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus strains to wards the mutagenicity in duced by two direct mutagens, 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide and 2-nitrofluo rene, and three dietary indirect mutagens, aflatoxin B-1, benzo(a)pyre ne and quercetin, were investigated using the in vitro Salmonella typh imurium test. Each cultured milk sample and control milli had a signif icant antimutagenic effect, to an extent varying with the mutagen used . Uninoculated milk had a greater inhibitory effect than cultured milk s towards dietary indirect mutagens.
