dc.description.abstractIn this study Drosophila melanogaster flies were exposed to three local and common orange flavored drinks (Nutri-C, Sari-C and Eve). The Drosophila melanogaster flies were fed on a Banana-Garri medium containing the test substances in varying concentrations (1, 2 5, 10 25 and 100%). The flies were bred in the media in the ratio of a male to three females, left to mate and lay eggs for six days. The number of deaths of parent flies and phenotypic defects in F1 flies were noted . It was observed that the drinks caused the death some parent flies and that females were more affected than males. Phenotypic defects of the wings and abdomen were also observed in F1 flies. Food products containing chemicals should be adequately tested before release into the market. Further research should be carried out to determine the mode of action of these substances on D.melanogaster, and on mammalian test systems.en_US
