Abstract
The roots of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., (Paeoniae Radix, PL) are a well-known herbal remedy used to treat fever, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatitis, and gynecological disorders in East Asia. Here we evaluated the genetic toxicity of PL extracts (as a powder [PL-P] and hot-water extract [PL-W]) in accordance with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development guidelines. The Ames test revealed that PL-W was not toxic to S. typhimurium strains and E. coli in absence and presence of the S9 metabolic activation system at concentrations up to 5000 μg/plate, but PL-P produced a mutagenic response to TA100 in the absence of S9 mix. PL-P was cytotoxic in in vitro chromosomal aberrations (more than a 50 % decrease in cell population doubling time), and it increased the frequency of structural and numerical aberrations in absence and presence of S9 mix in a concentration-dependent manner. PL-W was cytotoxic in the in vitro chromosomal aberration tests (more than a 50 % decrease in cell population doubling time) only in the absence of S9 mix, and it induced structural aberrations only in the presence of S9 mix. PL-P and PL-W did not produce toxic response during the in vivo micronucleus test after oral administration to ICR mice and did not induce positive results in the in vivo Pig-a gene mutation and comet assays after oral administration to SD rats. Although PL-P showed genotoxic in two in vitro tests, the results from physiologically relevant in vivo Pig-a gene mutation and comet assays illustrated that PL-P and PL-W does not cause genotoxic effects in rodents.

Abstract
Three ready-to-use vegetables, cucumber, blanched and seasoned spinach, and seasoned burdock were selected and the effects of an irradiation treatment for eliminating pathogens were investigated. The pathogens tested were Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria ivanovii. Inoculated viable cells of S. Typhimurium and L. ivanovii into cucumber and blanched and seasoned spinach were reduced about 4 decimal points by 2 kGy of irradiation and that of S. aureus inoculated into burdock showed about 4-decimal point reduction by 1 kGy. E. coli inoculated into burdock was not detected by 1 kGy. All the bacterial contents of test pathogens into the samples were reduced to below the limit of detection by 3 kGy irradiation. The range of the D10 value was 0.28-0.42 among the four pathogens. A Salmonella mutagenicity assay (Ames test) indicated that the 10 kGy-irradiated ready-to-use vegetables did not cause any increase. The studies indicated that a low-dose irradiation (3 kGy or less) can improve the microbial safety of ready-to-use vegetables.
