What is Allicin ?
Allicin is an organic compound obtained from garlic. It is also obtainable from onions, and other species in the family Alliaceae. It was first isolated and studied in the laboratory by Chester J. Cavallito in 1944. This colourless liquid has a distinctively pungent smell. This compound exhibits antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Allicin is garlic’s defence mechanism against attacks by pests.
Allicin is not present in garlic unless tissue damage occurs, and is formed by the action of the enzyme alliinase on alliin. It can also be prepared in racemic form by oxidation of diallyldisulfide:
(SCH2CH=CH2)2 + RCO3H → CH2=CHCH2SS(O)CH2CH=CH2 + RCO2H
Alliinase is irreversibly deactivated below a pH of 3; as such, allicin is generally not produced in the body from the consumption of fresh or powdered garlic. Furthermore, allicin can be unstable, breaking down within 16 h at 23C.
Allicin, also known as garlic powder, as feed supplement, which is chemical compound materials made of garlic oil. Having the function of possessing to destroy harmful micro-organisms, and promote the growth, also can flavor the animal food. It has no toxic and side effect and no residue It is widely used for feed industry including poultry, fish, shrimp, crab, and turtle
