Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on results obtained in this study, the test item omega 6 ceramide was found to be non mutagenic and non promutagenic under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

The bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames test) was performed in order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the test item Omega 6 ceramide.

This study was performed in accordance with OECD guideline 471.

Suspension of 5 amoni-acid requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537) strain, were exposed to the test item in the presence and in the absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system.

After incubation, revertant colonies due to point mutations were counted and compared to the number of spontaneous revertant colonies on solvent control plate (negative control). Similarly, specific standard mutagens were tested and used as positive controls.

Based on results obtained in this study, the test item omega 6 ceramide was found to be non mutagenic and non promutagenic under the test conditions.
