Garlic limitations

Many dietary supplements have antiplatelet activity, which may increase the risk of bleeding when used concurrently with anticoagulants. Feverfew inhibits cyclooxygenase and phospholipase A2 and may interact with anticoagulants and potentiate the antiplatelet effect of aspirin. Other supplements that possess antiplatelet activity include but are not limited to garlic, ginkgo, vitamin E, vitamin A, and selenium.

Allium oils are obtained from garlic and onion (Liliaceae). Their quality is assessed on the basis of their odor and aroma rather than their physical and chemical properties. The EOA specifications given below are, therefore, of limited value only. 

The threshold limit value (TLV) set by the American Conference of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) for tellurium and its compounds is 0.1 mg/m3 which is about ten times the amount which has been known to produce the adverse garlic odor (45,50). The ACGIH TLV for tellurium hexafluoride is 0.1 mg/m3 or 0.02 ppm of air. Likewise, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established its permissible exposure limit (PEL) for tellurium and its compounds at 0.1 mg/m3 the PEL for tellurium hexafluoride is 0.2 mg/m3 or 0.02 ppm of air (50). 

Tellurium and compounds are toxic. Acceptable concentration limit for an 8-hour daily exposure to dust and fumes in air is 0.1 milligrams of tellurium per cubic meter of air. Even exposure at this level may cause what is termed garlic breath.Proper ventilation, appropriate hygienic practices, and good housekeeping should be observed in handling tellurium. Although... 

Flavored Butter. Flavored butters (garlic, onion, pepper, lemon, etc.) have been successfully mass marketed in Europe (135), but this success has not translated to the U.S. market. There exists a limited specialty market in upscale stores and delicatessens and certain food service applications. Manufacture is quite simple. Creating the desired flavor blends remains an art and skill. 

Acetylene is a reactive material that poses a fire and explosion hazard. Its lower and upper explosive limits in air are 2.5% and 93%, respectively. Acetylene reacts with active metals (e.g., copper, silver, and mercury) to form explosive acetylide compounds. Acetylene manufactured from calcium carbide can contain impurities such as phosphine and arsine that are responsible for the ethereal to garlic-like odor of commercial acetylene and pose a greater human... 

Uses Bromoxylin is a selective contact herbicide with limited systematic activity for post-emergence control of annual broad-leaved weeds, onions, garlic, mint, turf, etc. 

Presently he is working as Medical Executive in Super Speciality Division, Ind-Swift Lab,Chandigarh, India on the isolation of the active constituents standardization of medicinal Herbs. He was instrumental in launching standardized extracts of Allium sativum (garlic) Hypericum perforatum (St. John s wort) for Ind -Swift limited, Chandigarh under the names Jovin Garlee. 

Clark II, CDA. Used in 1918 alone and mixed with diphenyl chloroarsine. Colourless crystals odour of garlic and bitter almonds, mp 35°C. Dispersed as an aerosol. Odour detectable at 0.01 mg/m3, limit of supportability 0.25 mg/m3 for 1-2 min. Toxic effects similar to those of diphenyl chloroarsine but slightly more potent. 

Chemistry of these garlic-derived compounds is detailed in Chapter 3 of Garlic The Science and Therapeutic Application o/Allium sativum L. and Related Species, edited by Heinrich P. Koch and Larry D. Lawson. More limited information is presented in Hoffman [1999], p. 67, 372ff. The nomenclature for the compounds varies.)... 

It has also been commented upon that although phosphorus has a distinctive odour when burnt in limited oxygen supplies, it does not resemble that of garlic, and that the garlic-like odour repeatedly referred to in the literature concerning phosphorus poisoning may actually be that of an arsenic contaminant. Such arsenic may have been derived from the coal within the furnaces when phosphorus... 

The retaliation and derivatization of tellurophene has been described in only a few reports [1 ] and yields are often modest. A possible reason for the limited amount of data about the chemistry of tellurophene is that chemists have to overcome the barrier of making it from diacetylene, a compound which has the reputation of being dangerous. Furthermore tellurium compounds are disliked because of the stench, a strong garlic odour. Preliminary experiments in which tellurophene was allowed to interact with butyllithium (commercial) in mixtures of THF or Et2Q and... 

There have been no chronic conditions or death about exposure of tellurium or its compounds. The most common sign of exposure was a garlic odor of the breath and a metallic taste in the mouth. Heavy exposure may result in headache, drowsiness and nausea. Large doses can be fatal. The limiting concentrations of tellurium and its compounds are listed in Table 8.3.
