Sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB): three-generation reproduction study in the rat and teratology studies in the rat and rabbit.

A three-generation reproduction study of sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) in Fischer 344 rats and teratology studies in Fischer 344 rats and New Zealand white rabbits were performed. Dietary SAIB concentrations to provide dose levels of 0, 0.5, 1.

Oral toxicity and carcinogenicity studies of sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) in the Fischer 344 rat and B6C3F1 mouse.

Sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB), a food additive used as a flavour emulsion stabilizer in citrus-based soft drinks, was evaluated for chronic toxicity in B6C3F1 mice and Fischer 344 rats. SAIB dissolved in acetone was blended into NIH07 rodent diet at concentrations that were adjusted weekly during the first 12 to 18 months of the studies so that ingested dose levels per kg body weight were constant. Groups of 20 rats per sex were given dose levels of 0.
