Abstract

The antimutagenicities of methanol extracts from traditional and commercial kochujang (Korean Red Pepper Soybean Paste) and their ingredients were evaluated in Salmonella/mammalian microsome assay system. The traditional kochujang showed higher antimutagenic effects than the commercial one against Ν-methyl-Ν'-nitro-Ν-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in the Salmonella typhimurium TA100, a base-pair substituted mutant strain.(omitted)
