Principles of method if other than guideline:
The strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly, except the response for TA1535 in the second experiment in the presence of S9-mix. The purpose of the positive control is as a reference for the test system, where a positive response is required to check if the test system functions correctly. Since the value was more than 5 times greater than the concurrent solvent control values, this deviation in the mean plate count of the positive control had no effect on the results of the study.

Additional information on results:
First Mutation Experiment :
- Toxicity : A decrease in the number of revertants, reduction of the bacterial background lawn and/or the presence of microcolonies, was observed in all Salmonella typhimurium tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix at concentrations of 512 μg/plate and upwards. In tester strain WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any of the dose levels tested.
Second Mutation Experiment :
- Toxicity : A decrease in the number of revertants, reduction of the bacterial background lawn and/or the presence of microcolonies, was observed in all Salmonella typhimurium tester strains at concentrations of 164 μg/plate and upwards in the absence of S9-mix and at concentrations of 512 μg/plate and upwards presence of S9-mix. In tester strain WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any of the dose levels tested.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, based on the results of this study it is concluded that TETRAHYDRO CITRAL is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to determine the potential of TETRAHYDRO CITRAL and/or its metabolites to induce reverse mutations at the histidine locus in several strains of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium; TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537), and at the tryptophan locus of Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain WP2uvrA in the presence or absence of an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (S9). The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD, EC and METI guidelines.

Batch SC00019145 of the test item was a colourless to pale yellow liquid. The test item was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide.

In the first mutation assay, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of 5% (v/v) S9-mix. The test item did not precipitate on the plates at this dose level. Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, reduction of the bacterial background lawn and/or the presence of microcolonies, was observed in all Salmonella typhimurium tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix. In tester strain WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any of the dose levels tested.

In the second mutation assay, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 1600 μg/plate in the tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA100 and TA98, and up to 5000 μg/plate in the tester strain WP2uvrA in the absence and presence of 10% (v/v) S9-mix. The test item did not precipitate on the plates. Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, reduction of the bacterial background lawn and/or the presence of microcolonies, was observed in all Salmonella typhimurium tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix. In tester strain WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any of the dose levels tested.

TETRAHYDRO CITRAL did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.

In this study, acceptable responses were obtained for the negative and strain-specific positive control items indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

In conclusion, based on the results of this study it is concluded that TETRAHYDRO CITRAL is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
