Lerda D (2017) The Effects of Tartrazine in Allium Cepa L. J Food Nutr 3: 1-5.Abstract: The effect of tartrazine on Allium cepa L. at concentrations of 0.1 , 1, 3 and 5 ng/ml-1 were studied. Analysis focused on root growth, frequency of mitosis in a meristematic zone, and chromosomal aberrations. It was observed that tartrazine reduces root growth and the frequency of mitotic cells in meristematic zones, and increases the frequency of aberrant cells. The intensity of the effects is a function of tartrazine concentration.Full text
