Metanil yellow, a non-permitted food colour, has been found in various foodstuffs. The induction potential of metanil yellow on hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 (P-450)-dependent monooxygenases and cytosolic detoxification enzymes, namely, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), was investigated.
