To assess the toxicological safety of Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor.
According to GB 15193—2014 National food safety standard-Acute oral toxicity test, the safety of Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor was evaluated through acute oral toxicity test on mice, 3 genetic toxicity tests and 28-day oral toxicity test.
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor for both male and female mice was greater than 42 mL/kg, indicating it was a practically non-toxic sample. No mutagenic effects were found in the genetic toxicity test. In the 28-day oral toxicity test, Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor at all doses had no significant impact on the body weight, food utilization rate, urine indicators and organ-to-body weight ratio of rats. The hemoglobin and hematocrit values of female rats in the low-dose group were significantly reduced compared to base liquor control group, but no abnormal changes related to the sample were found in the histopathological examination. The no-observed-adverse-effect level of Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor for both male and female rats in the 28-day oral toxicity test was 42 mL/kg.
Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor does not show general toxicity or genetic toxicity at the doses studied in this research, indicating a high level of edible safety. This study provides a scientific basis for the development and utilization of Cornu cervi pantotrichum-Ganoderma lucidum liquor.
