Notes:
Mutagenic activities of degradation products from pure crystalline cholesterol by heat-treatment in air were examined with a streptomycin-dependent strain from the Salmonella typhimurium TA98. Heatings at 225°C for periods of over 5 hr or at temperatures above 150°C for 7 hr were required for mutagens to be detected.
