Allium sativum

Allyl IS derived from the botanical name for garlic Allium sativum) It was found in 1892 that the major component obtained by distilling garlic oil is H2C=CHCH2SSCH2CH=CH2 and the word a//y/was coined for the H2C=CHCH2— group on the basis of this origin... 

Methyl-27/-thiopyran was identified among 20 other components in the oil from Allium sativum (88MI3). The supplementation of boiler chick feeds with various selenium compounds including 4//-selenopyran 13b has been investigated (90MI1).

Plants of the genus Allium, e.g. garlic Allium sativum), leek Allium amp-eloprasum), and onion Allium cepa), produce a bewildering variety of sulfur compounds. Selenium analogs for some of these have also been found (Section 11.1.3.6). Much work has focused on garlic (contains more than 100 such materials) and onion.56,66,67 Key compounds for formation of the Allium sulfur-containing secondary metabolites are sulfoxides of cysteine derivatives,...

Yellow and red onions (Allium cepa) were reported to be poor antioxidants toward oxidation of methyl linoleate (Kahkonen and others 1999) in contrast to their high antioxidant activity toward oxidation of LDL (Vinson and others 1998). Garlic (Allium sativum L) was reported to have four times more antioxidant activity than onions when using the ORAC assay (Cao and others 1996).
