General description

Allyl sulfide is a volatile flavor compound naturally found in Allium species such as garlic and onion. It is has a characteristic garlic odor and is used as a flavoring agent in meat and condiments.

Application


  • Diallylsulfide attenuates excessive collagen production and apoptosis in a rat model of bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis through the involvement of protease activated receptor-2.: The research highlights the protective effects of diallyl sulfide against pulmonary fibrosis, focusing on its ability to modulate protease activated receptor-2 and reduce collagen production (Kalayarasan et al., 2013).
