Abstract
⺠Results of the present study show that Tarragon contains mutagenic components. ⺠Occasional use is probably not dangerous, but in high doses it is not recommended. ⺠A dose-responsive increase in mutagenicity index was observed. ⺠Cancer risk is likely due to methylchavicol or possibly other genotoxic compounds. ⺠We confirmed the aforementioned using enzyme activity and liver morphology assay.
