| Description | Allicin, also known as allylthiosulfinate allyl ester or 2-propene-1-sulfinothioic acid s-2-propenyl ester, is a member of the class of compounds known as thiosulfinic acid esters. Thiosulfinic acid esters are organic compounds containing an ester of thiosulfinic acid with the general structure RS(=S)OR' (R, R'=alkyl, aryl). Allicin is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Allicin can be found in a number of food items such as chicory leaves, tea, watercress, and lemon thyme, which makes allicin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Allicin is an organosulfur compound obtained from garlic, a species in the family Alliaceae. It was first isolated and studied in the laboratory by Chester J. Cavallito and John Hays Bailey in 1944. When fresh garlic is chopped or crushed, the enzyme alliinase converts alliin into allicin, which is responsible for the aroma of fresh garlic. The allicin generated is unstable and quickly changes into a series of other sulfur-containing compounds such as diallyl disulfide. Allicin is part of a defense mechanism against attacks by pests on the garlic plant . |
