Metabolite Identification
Common NameAllicin
DescriptionAllicin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiosulfinic acid esters. These are organic compounds containing an ester of thiosulfinic acid with the general structure RS(=S)OR' (R, R'=alkyl, aryl). Allicin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within soft-necked garlics (Allium sativum L. var. sativum). Allicin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as wakames (Undaria pinnatifida), black raspberries (Rubus occidentalis), bamboo shoots (Phyllostachys edulis), spinaches (Spinacia oleracea), and chinese chestnuts (Castanea mollissima). This could make allicin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Allicin is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Allicin.
