Allium schoenoprasum

The occurrence of the diester structures of the malonic acid moiety in natural anthocyanin pigments has so far been reported in pigments from flowers of Eichhornia crassipes and chive. Allium schoenoprasum, where the anthocyanin-flavone and anthocyanin-flavonol disubstituted malonate structures were exhibited, respectively (Figure 10.8 and Figure 10.9). In some anthocyanins from flowers of Anemone coronaria, malonic acid is esterified with galactose in one end and tartaryl in the other end. ...

Common chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a hardy (Zone 3) perennial herb grown for their mild, onion-flavored leaves and pink flowers. Garlic chives (A. tuberosum) are slightly less hardy (Zone 5), and have larger, straplike leaves and white, rose-scented flowers. To grow healthy, trouble-free plants, sow seed indoors in 60°-70°F soil mix, or outdoors after soil has warmed. Chives do best in moderately rich, moist, well-drained soil with a pH between 5.0 and 7.0. Chives need full sun.

This compound was isolated from seeds of Allium schoenoprasum. The structure was established by enzymatic hydrolysis to give L-glutamic acid, S-(prop-l-enyl)-cysteine and S-(prop-l-enyl)-cysteine sulphoxide, determination of the N-terminal by dinitrophenylation and determination of the C-terminal by enzymatic treatment with carboxypeptidase A, which only hydrolyzes normal peptide bonds and therefore gave rise to S-(prop-l-enyl)-cysteine sulphoxide and y-glutamyl-S-(prop-l-enyl)-cys-teine. The L-configuration of the S-(prop-l-enyl)-cysteine sulphoxide was established by enzymatic analysis (215).

Other common herbs also appear to contain significant amounts of antioxidants. Among the more familiar, are dill (Anethum graveolens), coriander (Polygonum odoratum), peppermint (Mentha x piperita), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and chives (Allium schoenoprasum) and their respective antioxidant activity ORAC values are 29.12, 22.30, 15.84, 14.27, 11.03, and 9.15 pmol of Trolox equivalents/g fresh weight (39).
