Alliaceae Allium

Among the new anthocyanins, which have been reported after 1992, 47, 22, and 36 contain sophorose, rutinose, and sambubiose, respectively (Figure 10.5). Most of the anthocyanins containing sophorose were first isolated from species belonging to Convolvulaceae (22) and Cruciferae (13) (Table 10.2). This disaccharide has also been identified in new anthocyanins isolated from AJuga (Labiatae), " "" Consolida (Ranunculaceae)," Begonia (Begonia-ceae)," and in the flavonol unit of two covalent anthocyanin-flavonol complexes from Allium (Alliaceae)."...

Garlic, Allium sativum L., is a species in the onion family, Alliaceae. Onion, shallot, and leek are close relatives. Garlic has been used throughout history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a pungent hot sensation that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking. A large number of sulfur compounds contribute to the smell and taste of members of the onion family. Diallyl disulfide and diallyl sulfide are... 

Alkyl sulfides and thiols. Some alkyl thiols and sulfides, notably those from commonly ingested Allium sativum (garlic) and Allium cepa (onion) (Alliaceae), are variously bioactive as odorants and antimicrobials. Propanethial S-oxide (CH3-CH2-CH=S=0) is a lachrymatory irritant principle of onion. Allicin (S-oxodiallydisulfide CH2=CH—CH2-SO-S-CH2— CH=CH2), diallyldisulfide (CH2=CH-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH=CH2) and diallylsulfide (CH2=CH—CH2—S—CH2-CH=CH2) are major odorants of garlic that are reactive and irritant because of the allyl groups. Dimethyl disulfide (CH3—S—S-CH3), dipropyl disulfide (CH3-CH2-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH2-CH3), methyl allyl disulfide (CH3-S-S-CH2-CH=CH2) and propane-1-thiol (CH3-CH2—CH2—SH) are further Allium odorants. Methane thiol (methyl mercaptan CH3—SH) is a widespread plant volatile and notably derives from anaerobic bacterial degradation of cysteine as in human flatus and bad mouth odour. The aliphatic disulfides allicin and ajoene inhibit proinflammatory expression of iNOS.
