Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In conclusion, results from the present study thus suggest that citral, citronellal, (±)-camphor, (-).-menthol and 1,8-cineole are not mutagenic in the
Ames test and that terpineol is weakly mutagenic to TA102 tester strain.
