Abstract
Potassium bromate, is an oxidizing agent and one of the best and cheapest dough improvers in the baking industry. Due to its positive effects it plays a major role in the bread-making industry. Potassium bromate has significant effect on food biomolecules, such as starch and protein, as it affects the extent of gelatinization, viscosity, swelling characteristics as well as gluten proteins; it removes the sulfhydryl group and leads to the formation of disulfide linkages and thus improves the bread properties. However, there are many reports elucidating its negative impact on human health. It is deemed as a potential human carcinogen by IARC and classified under class 2B. Due to this, countries across world have either partially or completely banned it. Numerous techniques have evolved to determine the concentration of potassium bromate in bread. This review explains in detail, the effects of potassium bromate on biomolecules, human health, environment and various methods of analysis.

Abstract
Potassium bromate (V), (KBrO3) exists as white crystals, crystalline powder or granules. It is highly soluble in water, tasteless and odourless. Potassium bromate is a strong oxidizing agent. In the past it has been used as food additive in flour milling, as an ingredient in fish-paste in Japan, in cheese making, in beer malting, as a component of cold hair wave liquid and an oxidizing compound. Moreover, bromate is formed as a by-product of water disinfection by ozonation and is frequently detected in tap and bottled water. In fact bromate is one of the most prevalent disinfection by-product of surface water. Occupational exposure to potassium bromate occurs mainly in production plants during packaging processes. In Poland, about 1 160 persons were exposed to this compound in 2016. Bromate caused many acute poisonings by accidental ingestion, mainly among children, and more often ingested for tentative suicide by young women, especially hairdressers. In the acute phase of poisoning, gastrointestinal disturbances, irreversible hearing loss, and acute renal failure were observed. Acute renal failure was associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome. There are no data on chronic intoxication of humans by potassium bromate and epidemiological studies on this subject. On the basis of the value of median lethal dose (LD50) per os in rat, potassium bromate has been classified as a compound belonging to the category „Toxic”. Major toxic signs and symptoms in animals after a single intragastric administration of potassium bromate were tachypnea, hypothermia, diarrhea, lacrimation, suppression of locomotor movement, ataxic gait, and animals lying in a prone position. At autopsy the major findings were strong hyperemia of glandular stomach mucosa and congestion of lungs. Microscopically, necrosis and degenerative changes of the proximal tubular epithelium and hearing cells of internal ear were found. It was stated that the compound is not irritating, corrosive or sensitizing. In subchronic and chronic exposure of rodents, potassium bromate led to liver and kidney dysfunction and tubular epithelial damage. Potassium bromate had mutagenic and clastogenic effects. It induced point mutations, structural chromosome aberrations, micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes in male mice, DNA oxidative damage by modification of deoxyguanosine to 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, and DNA double-strand breakage. Potassium bromate induced neoplasms in rodents and exerted promotion effect in comparison with well-known carcinogens. Besides from preneoplastic changes, expressed by high incidences of renal cell tumors and dysplastic foci, bromate induced solid neoplasms, such as adenomas and adenocarcinomas in a rat kidney and thyroid, and mesotheliomas of peritoneum and tunica vaginalis testis. The European Union classified potassium bromate as a substance that can cause cancer (Group 1.B), whereas IARC classified it as a presumably carcinogenic agent for human (Group 2.B). In principle, effects of bromate on reproduction and ontogenetic development of offspring were not observed. Animal studies suggest that a kidney is a critical organ in the exposure to potassium bromate. The results of subchronic exposure of male rats to potassium bromate administered with drinking water were used to calculate the value of MAC-NDS. The critical effects in kidney were: an increase of organ weight and dose-dependent histopathological alterations defined as epithelium urinary tract hypertrophy. The NOAEL value is 1.5 mg/kg b.w./day. For the calculation of the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) value, 5 uncertainty factors with total value of 24 were used. Based on this estimation it is proposed to accept the MAC-TWA value for potassium bromate at 0.44 mg/m3. The risks of kidney and thyroid cancer in condition of occupational exposure are 2.2 · 10-3 and 0.6 · 10-3, respectively. There is no reason to determine the value of short-term exposure limit (STEL) and the biological exposure index (BEI). „Carc.1.B” notation (carcinogenic substance) was proposed

Abstract
Mutagenic agents have long been inferred to act through low-dose linear, nonthreshold processes. However, there is debate about this assumption, with various studies interpreting datasets as showing thresholds for DNA damage and mutation. We have applied rigorous statistical analyses to investigate the shape of dose-response relationships for a series of in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies using potassium bromate (KBrO(3) ), a water ozonation byproduct that is bioactivated to a reactive species causing oxidative damage to DNA. We analyzed studies of KBrO(3) genotoxicity where no-effect/threshold levels were reported as well as other representative datasets. In all cases, the data were consistent with low-dose linear models. In the majority of cases, the data were fit either by a linear (straight line) model or a model which was linear at low doses and showed a saturation-like downward curvature at high doses. Other datasets with apparent upward curvature were still adequately represented by models that were linear at low dose. Sensitivity analysis of datasets showing upward curvature revealed that both low-dose linear and nonlinear models provide adequate fits. Additionally, a simple biochemical model of selected key processes in bromate-induced DNA damage was developed and illustrated a situation where response for early primary events suggested an apparent threshold while downstream events were linear. Overall, the statistical analyses of DNA damage and mutations induced by KBrO(3) are consistent with a low-dose linear response and do not provide convincing evidence for the presence of a threshold.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a polyphenolic phytoalexin, has free-radical scavenging activity and we found that it induces chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei, and sister chromatid exchanges in vitro. We synthesized its analogue 4-hydroxy-trans-stilbene (4-OH) and found that it has the same in vitro clastogenic activities as resveratrol, suggesting that the 4' hydroxy group of resveratrol is responsible for the effect. We fed resveratrol and 4-OH to young adult ICR mice at 0, 0.2, 2, or 20 ppm in their standard powder diet for 6 months and investigated the antioxidative effects. Half of each group was given 3000 ppm potassium bromate (KBrO(3)) in water for the last week to cause oxidative damage. Body weight gain tended to increase in males at 0.2 ppm resveratrol or 4-OH, and in females at 2 ppm 4-OH. Micronucleus (MN) analysis in bone marrow erythrocytes showed that the KBrO(3) tendency to induce MN was not prevented by the dietary resveratrol or 4-OH, which themselves did not induce MN under the present conditions. In this pilot study, resveratrol and 4-OH showed no obvious effect, either beneficial or adverse, at doses that are feasible in daily life for humans.

Abstract
Bromate (BrO3-) is a rodent carcinogen that is formed as a drinking water ozone disinfection by-product and also used in some food and consumer products. Therefore, bromate is subject to assessment for its risk to humans. Because the selection of an appropriate model for conducting quantitative cancer risk assessment is based upon an understanding of the chemical's mode-of-action, it is necessary to determine whether the chemical is a mutagenic carcinogen. We present a review of the available information concerning the weight-of-the-evidence that bromate is a mutagenic carcinogen. The evidence indicates that bromate is mutagenic and that this activity is mediated by the formation of oxidative damage to the DNA, thus resulting in chromosomal damage. Not only does bromate induce genetic damage in vitro, it is also demonstrated to induce mutations in the kidney of exposed rats. This is significant because the rat kidney is one of the target tissues for tumor induction. While it is clear that bromate can cause damage in the target tissue, it is not clear whether bromate is a mutagenic carcinogen, that is, whether the observed tumors result from a mutagenic mode-of-action. Further research is needed to clarify bromate's mode-of-action. However, in the absence of additional information, it is reasonable, based on an extensive database, to assume that bromate induces tumors via oxidative damage that causes chromosomal breakage.

Abstract
Plant-derived polyphenolics and other chemicals with antioxidant properties have been reported to inhibit the expression of genotoxic activity by pro-oxidant chemicals (Sai et al., 1992, 1994; Teel and Castonguay, 1992). In vitro and in vivo studies with ionizing radiation suggest that hydroquinone (HQ) may have similar protective effects (Babaev et al., 1994). The present study was conducted to determine whether HQ is capable of inhibiting the induction of micronuclei in the bone marrow of mice following exposure to an oxidant, potassium bromate or KBrO3 (Nakajima et al., 1989; Sai et al., 1992, 1994). To be able to interpret the results of this work, it was also necessary to determine whether HQ is itself genotoxic when fed in the diet. HQ diets (0.8%) fed to mice for 6 days reduced the background incidence of micronuclei compared with the basal diet. KBrO3 dosed ip (12.5-100 mg/kg) produced a dose-dependent increase in micronuclei as reported by others. Mice fed 0.8% HQ diets 6 days, and then dosed intraperitoneally with KBrO3, showed a 36% reduction in micronuclei across the range of KBrO3 dose levels. This effect was associated with a reduction in the background micronucleus response as well as a reduction in response to KBrO3. Statistical significance (P < or = 0.05), observed at a dose of 25 mg/kg KBrO3 in the mice fed the control diet, was abolished in the group fed 0.8% HQ. When mice were given 50 mg HQ/kg by oral gavage and then given 50 mg KBrO3/kg ip 20 min later, the micronucleus response induced by KBrO3, was lower in animals given HQ. The results of this study demonstrate that large doses of HQ may be given orally without induction of micronuclei or bone marrow depression, that HQ reduces the background micronucleus response in animals fed a basal diet, and that the HQ reduces the micronucleus response to KBrO3 as well as background incidence of micronuclei in KBrO3-dosed animals. The protective effect of HQ may be due to enzyme induction or a direct antioxidant effect of HQ against oxidants commonly present in the diet.

Abstract
The Collaborative Study Group for the Micronucleus Test (CSGMT) is one of the task groups in the Mammalian Mutagenesis Study Group (MMS) of the Environmental Mutagen Society of Japan (JEMS). It was established in 1982 and has made efforts to understand what the micronucleus test is, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the test as an in vivo detection system for mutagens/carcinogens, and to establish a standard protocol applicable to numerous chemicals. Members of the CSGMT have published more than 75 papers as part of collaborative studies and have contributed to the understanding of the nature of the micronucleus test and to setting guidelines for testing of medicinal and other chemicals. The CSGMT held some workshops to share up-to-date knowledge and techniques on the micronucleus test. Through workshops and collaborative studies, the CSGMT contributed to the maintaining of a high standard of knowledge and techniques among Japanese researchers of the micronucleus test. This paper reviews achievements made by the CSGMT until now.

Abstract
We have examined published negative control data from 581 papers on micronucleated bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes (mnPCE) for differences in mean frequency and the frequency distribution profile among the mouse stocks used with the bone marrow micronucleus assay. For the 55 mouse stocks with published micronucleus assay data, the overall mean frequency is 1.95 mnPCE/1,000 PCE (1.95 mnPCE/1,000); for the 13 stocks most commonly used in the assay, it is 1.88 mnPCE/1,000. During the last 5 years, the mnPCE rate for these 13 major stocks has been 1.74 mnPCE/1,000. This current mean frequency is a substantial decrease from the mean of 3.07 mnPCE/1,000 observed for these 13 stocks for data published prior to 1981. Of the major stocks, the highest mean mnPCE negative control frequencies were observed for MS/Ae > BALB/c > C57Bl/6, and the lowest for CD-1 < Swiss Webster. We note that hybrid mouse stocks appear to have lower and less variable negative control frequencies than either of their parent strains and that the negative control frequency for some progeny stocks have diverged significantly from that of the parent stocks. Overall mean negative control frequencies appear to be correlated with breadth of the frequency distribution profile of published mean negative control values. Furthermore, a possible correlation between negative control frequency in the micronucleus assay and sensitivity to clastogens of different mouse strains may be indicated. The databases generated here allow us to define a range of norms for both the historical mean frequency and individual experimental mean frequencies for most stocks, but in particular, for the more commonly used mouse stocks. Our analysis, for the most part, bears out the recommendation of the first Gene-Tox Report on the micronucleus assay that the historical negative control frequency for a mouse stock should fall between 1 and 3 mnPCE/1,000. Eighty-six percent of the most commonly used mouse stocks have historical mean frequencies within this range. Though individual experimental mean values would not necessarily be expected to fall within the 1-3.00 mnPCE/1,000 range, 65.3% of the 2,327 published negative control values do, and 83.5% are < 3 mnPCE/1,000. The frequency with which an individual experimental mean value lies outside the 1.00 to 3.00 mnPCE/1,000 range differs among stocks and appears related to the mouse mean frequency. We suggest that the recommended range for historical mean frequency be extended slightly, to approximately 3.4 mnPCE/1,000, to accommodate some commonly used strains with overall mean negative control frequencies just above 3.00 mnPCE/1,000.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Micronucleus induction in male F344 rat peripheral blood by potassium bromate (KBrO3), a rat renal carcinogen, and its inhibition by several antioxidants were studied using the acridine orange supravital staining method. The frequency of micronucleated reticulocytes (MNRETs) peaked 32 h after a single i.p. treatment of rats with KBrO3 at a dose of 60 mg/kg. Co-treatment with glutathione (GSH) or cysteine (Cys) i.p. at doses of 800 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg, respectively, 30 min before and 30 min after the KBrO3 treatment significantly inhibited the micronucleus induction by KBrO3. Daily i.g. administration of vitamin C for 5 days at a dose of 200 mg/kg/day was also effective in protecting against micronucleus induction by KBrO3 given on the 4th day. However, co-treatment with superoxide dismutase in liposome-encapsulated form by i.p. injection at a dose of 18,000 U/kg 30 min before and 30 min after the KBrO3 application exerted no effect. The results indicate that antioxidants, especially sulfhydryl compounds, have protective potential against the clastogenicity of KBrO3, also suggesting that active oxygen species may play an important role in its clastogenicity.

Abstract
Micronucleus tests of potassium bromate (KBrO3) and potassium chromate (K2CrO4) were conducted with peripheral blood reticulocytes (PB-RETs) of CD-1 male mice dose intraperitoneally. Peripheral blood cells collected from the tail were stained supravitally with acridine orange (AO) using AO-coated glass slides. Both KBrO3 and K2CrO4 induced micronuclei in PB-RETs in the same manner as in polychromatic erythrocytes of bone marrow.

Abstract
Changes in kidney levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG), lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH) and relative organ weight were examined 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after a single i.p. administration of potassium bromate (KBrO3) at a dose of 70 mg/kg to male F344 rats. The 8-OH-dG level was significantly increased 24 h after the treatment at this dose and thereafter gradually decreased. On the other hand, significant elevation in LPO level was observed from 6 h after the treatment with a continuous increase up to a plateau at 48 h and no subsequent drop. GSH level was significantly raised from 6 to 72 h, and relative kidney weight varied in almost the same manner as the 8-OH-dG level. Investigation of the dose-response relation revealed the 8-OH-dG and LPO levels to be significantly increased from a dose of 40 mg/kg KBrO3 in a dose-dependent manner. The results suggest that enhanced formation of 8-OH-dG in kidney DNA due to KBrO3 is closely related to the increase in LPO levels.
