- Garlic (Allium
sativum), like other plants, has an exquisite defense system composed of
as many different components as the human immune system. In order to
protect itself from insects and fungi, garlic enzymatically produces
allicin when it is injured. Thus, allicin is mother nature's
insecticide.
- Allicin is not present
in garlic in its natural state. When garlic is chopped or otherwise
damaged, the enzyme alliinase acts on the chemical alliin converting it
into allicin.[3] Alliin is an amino acid that does not build proteins.
- The biological activity
of Allicin extracted from fresh garlic is thought to be related to a
combination of factors: it’s antioxidant activity, modification of
enzymes and proteins by attacking the SH-groups, rapid penetration into
cells through the cell membrane
- Allicin has a number of
beneficial properties, which could act together to enhance the bodies
response to disease. Published laboratory studies have found that
allicin: Enhances the activity of phagocytic cells, Enhances the
activity of natural killer cells, Inhibits the growth of pathogenic
micro-organisms, Inhibits the growth of certain cancer cells.
- Allicin
(diallylthiosulfinate) is responsible for the usual odor of fresh-cut
garlic. It is produced in crushed garlic cloves or in wetted garlic
powder through the rapid lysis of alliin by alliinase. Allicin has a
water solubility of about 2%, is moderately soluble in hexane, and is
very soluble in organic solvent more polar than hexane. Allicin yield is
commonly used as a measure of garlic quality. Preparation of a pure
standard is necessary since its instability precludes its commercial
availability.
- Allicin is produced due
to the interaction of the garlic enzyme, alliinase, with the substrate
alliin. Alliinase was isolated, chemically stabilized and coupled to a
solid matrix, thus enabling the efficient conversion of synthetic,
nature-identical alliin to allicin. Aqueous solutions of allicin can be
stored in the cold at 4oC for months.
- Garlic extracts also
have a strong antifungal effect and inhibit the formation of mycotoxins
like the aflatoxin of Aspergillus parasiticus. Allicin was assumed to be
the main component responsible for the inhibition of fungal growth.
- Allicin also very
efficiently inhibited the growth of other protozoan parasites such as
Giardia lamblia, Leishmania major Leptomonas colosoma, and Crithidia
fasciculata
