medicinal plant since ancient times. Some epidemiologic reports showed that high intake of Allium vegetables including garlic reduce the risk of thrombus formation by blood platelet condensation effect. And recent studies have validated many of the medicinal properties attributed to garlic and its potential to lower the risk of disease. Garlic has been shown to have antithrombotic activity. It ...

background: increase of people’s awareness about side effects of chemical food preservatives has raised public interest to consume products with natural preservatives such as essential oils. garlic (allium sativum l.) is one of the medicinal plants in traditional medicine of iran and it is necessary to evaluate its antimicrobial effects on some food borne bacteria such as e.coli o157:h7. this b...

The optimum conditions for the formation of E- and Z-ajoene from garlic juice mixed with soybean oil were determined using response surface methodology. A central composite design was used to investigate the effects of three independent variables temperature (°C, X 1), reaction time (hours, X 2), and oil volume (multiplied by weight, X 3). The dependent variables were Z-ajoene (Y 1) and E-ajoen...

Ruminants represent an important source of methane (CH(4)) emissions; therefore, CH(4) mitigation by diet supplementation is a major goal in the current ruminant research. The objective of the present study was to use a rumen simulation technique to evaluate the CH(4)-mitigating potential of pure compounds in comparison with that achieved with garlic oil, a known anti-methanogenic supplement. A...

The current study dealt with the protective role of garlic oil on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Subcutaneous injection of ISO (20 mg/kg body weight in1ml saline) to rats for 2 consecutive days offered significant alteration in biochemical parameters and moderate necrosis in heart. Effect of garlic oil oral treatment for 60 days (75 mg /kg body weight) was evalu...

Background and objectives: Garlic (Allium sativum L.) oil has been introduced in Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) as an effective topical agent for urine dribbling. Additionally, the beneficial effects of garlic on prostatic proliferation have been revealed in recent studies. The purpose of this research was formulation of a topical ointment using garlic oil proposed by ITM and quality contro...

Garlic, Alliumsativum, is broadly used around the world for its numerous culinary and medicinal uses. Wild garlic, Allium vineale, has been used as a substitute for garlic, both in food as well as in herbal medicine. The present study investigated the chemical compositions of A. sativum and A. vineale essential oils. The essential oils from the bulbs of A. sativum, cultivated in Spain, were obt...

Different doses of 12 plant extracts and 6 secondary plant metabolites were incubated for 24 h in diluted ruminal fluid with a 50:50 forage:concentrate diet. Treatments were: control (no additive), plant extracts (anise oil, cade oil, capsicum oil, cinnamon oil, clove bud oil, dill oil, fenugreek, garlic oil, ginger oil, oregano oil, tea tree oil, and yucca), and secondary plant metabolites (an...

Current study aimed to search for safe and effective natural products to control the potato soft-rot disease, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora. Antibacterial efficiency of edible mushroom extracts (MEs) and garlic essential oil (EO) were compared with two bactericides; streptrol and oxolinic acid as well as two fungicides; mancopper and copper oxychloride. Bioassay experiments were conducte...

Field experiment was conducted at Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Lucknow to evaluate the growth and yield of geranium and garlic in intercropping system. Maximum dry matter accumulation was noticed during 120-135 DAP. Dry matter accumulation in geranium paired sole was almost equal to geranium paired intercrop. Application of phosphorus at 40 kg P2 O5 ha -1 and 30 k...
