摘要：Abstract Powdered juices are widely consumed by the population especially because of their convenient preparation, availability in various fruit flavors and low cost when compared to other industrialized beverages. They have complex formulation, consisting of several classes of food additives. However, there are no scientific studies on the toxicity of these foods. Thus, this study evaluated the toxicity at the cellular level of industrialized powdered juices of orange and guava flavors of three different food companies. This analysis was made using root meristem cells of Allium cepa L., at the exposure times of 24 and 48 hours, and two concentrations, 30 g/1000 mL, considered ideal for consumption according to the label of the products, and 30 g/500 mL. Both flavors of juices, of the three companies, in both concentrations and the two exposure times promoted significant antiproliferative effect to root meristem cells and caused a statistically significant number of mitotic spindle changes and micronuclei in cells of the test system used. Therefore, under the studied conditions, all the samples of juice powder exhibited cytotoxic and genotoxic potential.
