“…aged garlic extracts (AGE), garlic oils, essential oils and so forth against various diseases (Casella, Leonardi, Melai, Fratini, & Pistelli, 2013;El-Hamidi & El-Shami, 2015;Kopec, Piatkowska, Leszczynska, & Sikora, 2013;Kyung, 2012;Martins, Petropoulos, & Ferreira, 2016;Zeng et al, 2017). Moreover, considering the vegetative propagation of garlic, there is a great interest for local landraces and ecotypes regarding their bioactive compounds content and the importance of genetic material conservation (Baghalian, Naghavi, Ziai, & Badi, 2006;Baghalian, Ziai, Naghavi, & Naghdi Badi, 2005;Gonzalez, Soto, Sance, Camargo, & Galmarini, 2009;Kamenetsky et al, 2005).One of the major beneficial effects of garlic is related with antioxidant properties which have been tested in animal models and clinical studies with various forms, e.g. raw garlic, garlic extracts, AGE, commercial supplements or herbal medicines (Hirsch et al, 2017;Santhosha, Jamuna, & Prabhavathi, 2013).…”

“…It is responsible for the remarkable antibacterial activity of crushed garlic cloves (Cavallito and Bailey 1944). Alliin was found to be the stable precursor that was converted to Allicin by the action of allinase which was more than 10% of the total protein content in garlic (Baghalian et al 2005). Allicin was reported to possess diverse biological actions such as antimicrobial, antiparasite, and antifungal activities.…”

Allium hirtifolim (Persian Shallot) belongs to Allium genus (Alliaceae family). We investigated the in vitro effects of chloroformic extract of A. hirtifolium and its Allicin on the proliferation of HeLa (cervical cancer), MCF7 (human, caucasion, breast, adenocarcinoma) and L929 (mouse, C3H/An, connective) cell lines. Our results showed that components of A. hirtifolium might inhibit proliferation of tumor cell lines. This inhibition in HeLa and MCF-7 cells was dose-dependent. The presence of Allicin was evaluated by TLC method in bulbs and the extract of A. hirtifolium was analyzed by HPLC. MTT test was performed 24, 48 and 72 h after cell culture. A significant decrease in cell lines was observed in HeLa and MCF-7 as compared to L929 cell lines. DNA fragmentation analysis revealed a large number of apoptotic cells in treated HeLa and MCF-7 cell groups, but no effects in L929 cells. Therefore A. hirtifolium might be a candidate for tumor suppression.

“…However, Camargo et al (2005) showed that the allicin content can vary significantly between cultivars, keeping constant the variability attributed to the climate conditions and dormancy state of the cloves. Baghalian et al (2000) reported that there is no significant variation attributed to climatic factors suggesting that there should be an inherent advantage in Iranian-grown garlic. Hardneck garlic was found to have greater methiin, alliin and total free amino acids content compared to softneck garlic, upon comparing the two subspecies for their cysteine sulfoxides and free amino acid content (Lee and Harnly, 2005).…”

Balady and Chinese-Sids40 are the main garlic cultivars grown in Egypt. Effect of conventional vs. organic agricultural practices on premature and mature garlic bulb yield was studied for these cultivars. Organic agriculture increased yield of garlic bulbs and was more effective in Balady than in ChineseSids40 cultivar. Effect of cultivar type, maturity stage and agricultural methods on allicin content in garlic bulbs was studied using high performance liquid chromatography. Cultivar type and agricultural methods showed more difference in allicin content in cured mature bulb stage than in fresh premature bulb stage. In case of cured mature bulbs, Chinese-Sids40 had higher allicin content (3.02 mg/g FW) than the Balady (2.59 mg/g FW). Effect of storage temperature on allicin content in conventionally-and organically-grown garlic bulbs was studied. Allicin content was higher in organically-grown than conventionally-grown garlic stored at room temperature after six months. At 0°C, allicin content was higher in conventionally-grown than organically-grown garlic. The decrease in allicin content can be explained by the prolonged dormancy period and hindered sprouting that suppressed the metabolic activity.
