Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM To study the safety of bioactive peptide powders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Acute toxicity test of mice; Ames test; micronucleus test of bone marrow PCE cell in mice; sperm shape abnormality test of mice were used. RESULTS Bioactive peptides revealed a LD50>10 g/kg in mice. The results of genetic toxicity test were all negative; including Ames test; micronucleus test and sperm shape abnormality test. CONCLUSION The bioactive peptide powders was a substance with no toxicity and no genotoxicity under our experimental conditions.
