Allium ascalonicum

Shallots Allium ascalonicum) are an allium wherein the bulb laterals separate into individual bulbs. Apparently, shallots do not develop a lachrymatory factor, such as thiopropanal-S-oxide upon maceration [35]. The major aroma constituents in shallots are similar to those found in A.cepa. In raw shallots, the most important aroma compounds appear to be dipropyl disulfide, propyl ( )-prope-nyl disulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, dimethyl trisulfide and dipropyl trisulfide (Table 7.5, Fig. 7.6) [35, 152, 153].
