Abstract

Antimutagenic effect of red pepper powder (RPP) produced in Korea depending on the varieties and producing districts were studied against Ν-methyl-Ν'-nitro-Ν-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in Ames test and SOS chromotest. The antimutagenic activities of green pepper, red pepper and different parts of dried red pepper were also evaluated in the same experimental systems.(omitted)
