SupplyWhat is Allicin Powder?
Allicin (an organic sulfur compound derived from the bulb (garlic head) of the allium plant of the allium family and also present in Onions and other allium plants) is known as diallyl thiosulfinate and has the chemical formula C6H10OS2. The solid agent is a white to light yellow liquid powder, and the liquid agent is a light yellow to brown volatile oily liquid with a strong garlic odor. Allicin is unstable and loses its antibacterial activity when exposed to heat or alkali, but is not affected by dilute acids. Fresh garlic does not contain allicin, only allicin. When garlic is cut or crushed, the endogenous enzyme in garlic, allinase, is activated, catalyzing the decomposition of allin into allicin.
