Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No bacteriotoxic effect was observed. Henna Rot did not induce an increase in revertants in the bacterial strains in the tested concentration range between 50 to 5000 μg/plate. The sensitivity and validity of the test system used was demonstrated by the significant induction of revertants by the positive controls. Under the experimental conditions used, Henna Rot was not mutagenic in this gene mutation tests in bacteria.
