Guinea corn

Most modem brooms are made of either plant materials or synthetics. The old round broom shape gave way to the more efficient flat broom, which was invented by the Shakers in the early 1800s. The modem corn broom is made of the stems of sorghum, which is also called Guinea corn or millet. The seeds of this plant are used to make bread, or as food for livestock. The tan or yellow stems are used to make bmshes and brooms.

The effects of DM on the eyes and skin of rabbits were studied. DM was suspended in corn oil and instilled into the eyes of rabbits in doses of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 mg. No effect was observed at 0.1 mg, but mild conjunctivitis was observed at 0.2 mg. At 0.5 mg, mild blepharitis was also seen. Corneal opacity persisted over the 14 day observation period in rabbit eyes that were dosed with 1.0 and 5.0 mg. Corn oil suspensions of DM (lOOmgmM ) were placed on the clipped backs of rabbits at doses of 1, 10, 50, 75, and 100 mg. Necrosis of the skin was observed at 10 mg and higher. The skin sensitization potential of DM in guinea pigs was negative.

Toxicity testing of 10% juniper oil (species unspecified, but likely J. communis) in corn oil gave LDjq values of 750 mg/kg after intraperitoneal administration to mice, 1200 mg/kg after intra-abdominal administration to guinea pigs, 700 mg/kg after intramuscular administration to mice, and 1440 mg/kg after subcutaneous administration to guinea pigs (Mambetsadykov et al. 1990). 

Three of the 17 flavouring agents (Nos 1758, 1759 and 1764) in this group have been reported to occur naturally in coffee, black tea, barley, chicken, turkey, guinea hen, beef, mushrooms, trassi, American cranberry and sweet corn (Nijssen et al., 2006). No quantitative data on the natural levels in food were available, and therefore consumption ratios (the ratios of their consumption from natural food sources to their use as flavouring agents) were not calculated.
