Zusammenfassung

Das etherische Öl von ägyptischem Knoblauch, gewonnen durch Wasserdampfdestillation, wurde mittels GC-FID, GC-MS und GC-FTIR untersucht. Als schwefelhaltige Hauptkomponenten (Konzentration höher als 1%) dieses Öles konnten Diallyltrisulfid (29,7%), Diallyltetrasulfid (4,8%), Diallyldisulfid (3,2%), Diallylsulfid (2,5%) und Methylallyltrisulfid (2,1%) identifiziert werden.

Summary

The essential oil of Egyptian garlic was obtained by steam distillation and the oil sample investigated by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), GC-mass spectrometry (MS) and GC-FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). As sulphur-containing main constituents (concentration higher than 1%) of this oil, diallyltrisulphide (29.7%), diallyltetrasulphide (4.4%), diallyldisulphide (3.2%), diallylsulphide (2.5%) and methylallyltrisulphide (2.1%) were identified.
