Influence of pH, concentration and light on stability of allicin in garlic (Allium sativumL.) aqueous extract as measured by UPLC
Key concepts
Scholarcy highlights
- Garlic is one of the most important bulb vegetables and is mainly used as a spice or flavoring agent for foods
- In this study, using UPLC, the stability of allicin extracted in water from garlic was evaluated in phosphate buffer at different temperatures under light and dark conditions
- Allicin in aqueous extract was most stable at pH 5–6 but degraded quickly at lower or higher pH
- Allicin in water could be stored for 5 days without obvious degradation
- Higher concentrations of allicin in solution were somewhat more stable than low concentrations
