DNA and its precursors might interact with the food preservatives, sodium sulphite and sodium benzoate.

G D Njagi, H N Gopalan.   

Abstract

The interaction of sodium sulphite and sodium benzoate with nucleosides and DNA has been studied in vitro. Reduction in UV-absorbance was consistently noticed. However, no new products result from such interaction. It is likely that our previous observations of the effects of the 2 food preservatives on DNA synthesis and mitotis in Vicia faba root meristems is not due to direct action of the chemicals at the level of genetic material.
