Resumen

En este trabajo se investigó la composición química del aromatizante artificial de almendras, así como la toxicidad de este aditivo frente a los bioensayos comúnmente utilizados para evaluar el riesgo ambiental que ofrecen los compuestos y/o sustancias químicas. La identificación química detectó etanol (solvente), sacarina, benzaldehído y ácido benzoico. En L. sativa y A. cepa, concentraciones de 100 y 10 µL/L de aromatización provocaron una reducción en la tasa de germinación e inhibición del crecimiento de las raíces. En A. cepa, a las 24 y 48 horas de exposición, concentraciones de 100 y 10 µL/L redujeron significativamente la división de los meristemas radiculares, y concentraciones de 1 y 0,10 µL/L indujeron cambios celulares y fueron aneugénicas para los meristemas de las plantas. El saborizante fue altamente tóxico para A. salina con LC50 = 0.082 ppm. Además, al dividir en soluciones saturadas de octano y agua, la solución comercial de almendras mostró un log Kow de 1,37. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, bajo las condiciones de análisis establecidas, el aromatizante fue significativamente fitotóxico, citogenotóxico y tóxico, y en base al Kow se estima que tiene buena estabilidad en agua y suelo. Estos resultados indican que el aroma de almendras es un compuesto potencialmente tóxico para el medio ambiente.
