Allicin (C6H 10S3, trisulfide) is mainly composed of diallyl disulfide, DADS) and dially trisulfied, DATS, commonly known as allicin). It is the degradation product of sulfosulfites such as Allicin (Diallyl thiosulfinate, also known as allicin).
Allicin exists in fresh garlic in a stable form as its precursor-Alliin (S- allyl cysteine sulfoxide). After fresh garlic is physically crushed, Allinase is activated, which decomposes alliin into sulfur-containing compounds such as allicin.
Alliin is the most primitive sulfur-containing compound in garlic, which is decomposed by alliinase to produce allicin However, allicin is unstable, which can be further decomposed into diallyl disulfide (DADS), diallyl sulfide (DAS), Joni Aho ene (ajoene) and trisulfpropylene (DATS).
