A 13-week and a 2-year feeding study were conducted in Fischer 344/DuCrj rats to evaluate the oral toxicity and carcinogenicity of S-570, a mixture of mono-, di-, tri-, and higher esters of sucrose with fatty acids derived from edible fats and oils. In both studies, S-570 was fed at 0, 1, 3, or 5% (w/w) of the diet to groups of 20 male and 20 female rats in the 13-week study and 50 male and 50 female rats in the carcinogenicity study. Animals in satellite groups of 14 rats/sex/group were sacrificed at 12 months to evaluate chronic toxicity. There were no S-570-related effects on survival, tumor incidence or time to tumor, ophthalmology, hematology, clinical chemistry, organ weights, or histopathology. These results indicate that S-570 is not toxic or carcinogenic when fed to rats at up to 5% of the diet for 2 years.

D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid.

D013395 Sucrose A nonreducing disaccharide composed of GLUCOSE and FRUCTOSE linked via their anomeric carbons. It is obtained commercially from SUGARCANE, sugar beet (BETA VULGARIS), and other plants and used extensively as a food and a sweetener. Saccharose
D015197 Carcinogenicity Tests Tests to experimentally measure the tumor-producing/cancer cell-producing potency of an agent by administering the agent (e.g., benzanthracenes) and observing the quantity of tumors or the cell transformation developed over a given period of time. The carcinogenicity value is usually measured as milligrams of agent administered per tumor developed. Though this test differs from the DNA-repair and bacterial microsome MUTAGENICITY TESTS, researchers often attempt to correlate the finding of carcinogenicity values and mutagenicity values.
