High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of mycelia of Sclerotium rolfsii grown in broth medium supplemented with garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) was carried out to estimate qualitative and quantitative changes in phenolic acids. Several phenolic acids, such as gallic, chlorogenic, ferulic, o-coumaric and cinnamic acids were detected in varied amounts in mycelia g...

Onion and garlic are best known for their pungent aromas, but these potent veggies have powerful effects on health and also there is urgent need to identify superior populations, quickly characterize and select elite candidates and breed new varieties for achieving current as well as future food and global health security needs. Hence this review article is focused on the analysis of the biolog...

Black garlic (BG) is a processed garlic product prepared by heat treatment of whole garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.) at high temperature under high humidity for several days, resulting in black cloves with a sweet taste. BG has recently been introduced to the Korean market as a product beneficial to health. To clarify how BG changes during the 35 day aging period, the physicochemical characteri...

Antibacterial activity of A. sativum was tested against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial isolates from Urinary Tract of Indian patients, which were confirmed for resistant against commonly used antibiotics for urinary tract infections. In present study, only five quantities (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50μg) of aqueous allicin from A. sativum cloves and leaves were used, which has antibacterial...

A study was planned to investigate the role of aqueous extract from Garlic (Allium sativum), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Berberry (Berberis lycium) fed in-mix for their effect upon growth performance, immunomostimulant and anticoccidial in broilers. Two hundred and fourty chicks were randomly allocated in to four groups A, B, C and D, and further into two subgrou...

Antimicrobial activity of different concentrations (50, 100, 200, 300 and 500ml/l) of essential oil extracts of three type of onions (green, yellow and red) and garlic against two bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmomella Enteritidis, and three fungi, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium cyclopium and Fusarium oxysporum, was investigated. The essential oil (EO) extracts of these Allium plants (garl...

Introduction: It has been reported that garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) are used all over the world in different diseases, such as infections, injuries, gastrointestinal dysfunctions and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, our aim in this work was to study the ability of garlic and onion oils to offset the infectivity as well as the metabolic disturbances induced by Schistosoma ...

In the present study focuses the significant antibacterial activity of Garlic (Allium sativum Linn.) extract on streptomycin and Rifampicin resistant strains alone or in synergism with Amoxycillin. Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC BAA 1026 and gram negative Escherichia coli ATCC 10536 were made resistant to standard antibiotics streptomycin and rifampicin. Amoxycillin is used as control...

Stem rot disease was found in garlic (Allium sativum L.) cultivated from 2008 to 2010 in the vegetable gardens of some farmers in Geumsan-myon, Jinju City, Gyeongnam province in Korea. The initial symptoms of the disease were typical water-soaked spots, which progressed to rotting, wilting, blighting, and eventually death. White mycelial mats had spread over the lesions near the soil line, and ...

The in vitro susceptibility of 20 medical isolates of Scedosporium prolificans to ajoene, allitridium and raw garlic extract derived from cloves of garlic (Allium sativum) was tested using the NCCLS reference method (with minor modifications) for broth microdilution. The results demonstrate that both garlic derivatives and raw garlic extract appear to have in vitro activity against S. prolificans.
