dc.description.abstractCellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have been developed for applications in multiple food-related products, as food additives (e.g. stabilizers or thickeners), non-caloric fiber sources, or substitutes for petroleum-based food packaging materials(1,2). This work aimed to contribute for the safety assessment of two micro/nanofibrillated celluloses (CMF/CNFs), synthetized from industrial Eucalyptus globulus kraft. Based on the European Food Safety Authority nano guidance(3), the in vitro cyto- and genotoxic effects were investigated using the Caco-2 and HT29-MTX-E12 human intestinal cell models. To incorporate the effect of the digestion process on the toxicological outcomes, a harmonized protocol for in vitro simulation of human digestion was used(3). After exposure of cells to digested and undigested CNMs samples (concentrations of 3.1 to 200 μg/mL), the cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT and clonogenic assays, and the genotoxicity by the cytokinesis block micronucleus (CBMN; OCDE TG 487(4)) and comet assays. No cytotoxic effects could be attributed to CNMs exposure, with and without digestion, regardless of the cell line used. No chromosomal damage was detected in the two cell lines exposed to each CNMs for 52h, using the micronucleus assay. Conversely, the comet assay revealed the induction of DNA damage in HT29-MTX-E12 cells, after 3h and 24h of exposure to the two CNMs, without significant contribution of oxidative DNA damage. Additionally, in the same cell line, a mild increase in DNA damage, was observed after exposure to the digested CNF comparatively to not digested CNF, after 3h exposure. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which CNMs were evaluated for their genotoxic effects using the CBMN and comet assays in Caco-2 and HT29MTXE12 cell models. Our findings show that cytotoxicity, the endpoint generally used to assess their biocompatibility, is not sufficient to assess their safety to humans. Ongoing studies will contribute to a more comprehensive early-stage assessment of CNMs safety, towards sustainable and innovative application in food technology.pt_PT
