Antimicrobial properties of allium species

Highlights ► Antimicrobial principles of fresh alliums are thiosulfinates represented by allicin. ► Several different antimicrobial compounds are also formed in heated alliums. ► Alliums inhibit all microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. ► Allium antimicrobials are known to...

description Highlights ► Antimicrobial principles of fresh alliums are thiosulfinates represented by allicin. ► Several different antimicrobial compounds are also formed in heated alliums. ► Alliums inhibit all microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. ► Allium antimicrobials are known to react with SH groups of cellular proteins. ► Evidences that thiosulfinates react with non-SH amino acids are accumulating.
