RESUMO
The toxicities of patulin and of the patulin adducts formed with cysteine were compared using the mutation-sensitive strain Escherichia coli W3110 thy polA1 and its polA1+ revertant. The acute toxicities of patulin and of the adduct mixture were also compared using NMRI mice. The adduct mixture was shown by thin-layer chromatography to consist of one ninhydrin-positive, one ninhydrin- and MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone)-positive, three MBTH-positive, and two ninhydrin- and MBTH-negative components. The results showed that patulin was over 100 times more toxic to E. coli than the adduct complex. Neither patulin nor the adduct mixture was found to induce the repair effect in E. coli. In the mouse feeding tests, the oral 50% lethal dose for patulin was 29 mg/kg, while that of the adduct mixture was greater than 2,370 mg/kg.
