12. Safety test
(1) Acute oral toxicity testing with male mice
1. Death: No death case was found in any mice on the test during the test period.
2. General conditions: No abnormality was found in any mice during the test period.
3. Consideration: Acute oral toxicity examination using male mice as specimen was conducted. The specimen was administered by the dosage of 2,000 mg/kg,
neither abnormality nor the death case was admitted during the term of the observation. Therefore, it was considered that the LD50 value by the single timeoral administering in the specimen mice was 2,000 mg/kg or more in the male mice.
(2) Mutagenicity test (conducted in May 2013)
The possibility of mutation induction of sesame young leaf powder was checked using Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, and TA1537 as wellas coliform WP2uvrA. As a result, no increase in the number of revertant colonies which is more than double the number compared to the vehicle control wasfound for each strain, regardless of the presence or absence of metabolic activation.

13. Other tests
Agricultural Chemicals: There were no agricultural chemicals detected in the specimen.
Total Pheophorbide: 10mg%
Existing Pheophorbide: 8mg%
Chlorophyllase: 2mg%
Total Chlorophyll: Not lower than 120mg/100g
14. Allergy labeling
Instruction from the Consumer Affairs Agency dated September 20, 2013 encourages labeling of “Sesame” asallergen. Please use “Sesame Young Leaf”, “Sesame Young Leaf Powder”, etc. for labeling.
