    Abstract:
    Pieces of raw chicken with or without a marinating sauce were grilled over a city gas flame, extracted with benzene-ethanol (4:1) by ultrasonication and fractionated into diethyl ether-soluble neutral, acidic and basic fractions. The mutagenicity of these fractions was measured with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA98, TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6 in the presence and absence of a 9000 X g post-mitochondrial supernatant from Aroclor 1254-treated Sprague-Dawley rat liver (S9 mix). The basic fraction of yakitori without the sauce was more mutagenic than the other fractions for S. typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of S9 mix. This is probably due to the presence of amino acid or protein pyrolysates. However, when the chicken was grilled with the sauce, the basic fraction showed lower mutagenicity for strain TA98 in the presence of S9 mix than did the same fraction without the sauce. The neutral fraction of yakitori with sauce showed high mutagenicity for strain TA98 in the absence of S9 mix, but low mutagenicity for strains TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6, suggesting that this fraction might contain nitropyrenes (NPs). The neutral fraction of yakitori was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The neutral fraction of the chicken grilled with the sauce for 3, 5 and 7 min contained 3.8, 19 and 43 ng, respectively, of 1-NP per gram of yakitori accounting for 3.0, 2.7 and 1.3%, respectively, of the total mutagenicity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
