Abstract:Sugar substitutes are mostly artificial, man-made industrial products used as additives in food and beverages. Most of these substances flow through the digestive tract and food chains to become emerging organic contaminants in various abiotic and biotic environmental media. Here, we predict the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of commonly used sugar substitutes using the in silico based methods. The simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) of sugar substitutes were obtained from the PubChem datab… Show more
