Organic extracts from fresh and smoked yellowtail fish (Seriola lalandi), lisa fish (Mugil cephalus) and cazon fish (Mustelus lunulatus) were tested for mutagenicity using Ames Salmonella tester strains TA98 and TA100 with metabolic activation (S9). Also, the antimutagenicity of the organic extract from yellowtail fish was tested against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Yellowtail fish extract was sequentially fractionated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and each fraction was also tested for antimutagenicity. None of the fresh species showed mutagenicity. Extract from smoked yellowtail showed the highest mutagenic potential among the smoked species tested. Organic extract from fresh yellowtail reduced the number of revertants caused by AFB1 showing a dose response type of relationship. Sequential TLC fractionation of the antimutagenic extract produced four antimutagenic fractions from fresh yellowtail fish. These results that the lipidic fraction of the species tested contains at least four compounds with chemoprotective properties that reduce the mutagenicity of AFB1.
