Abstract

The article presents a study on artificial food colorants, which inhibit superoxide production of differentiated HL-60 cells. It notes on the experimental test on the 12 synthetic food colorants for their antioxidant possibilities through the in vitro superoxide generation assay in differentiated HL-60 cells. It is found out that among the colorants, rose bengal revealed potent inhibitory action without cytotoxicity.
