Abstract
Low temperature extraction of the fresh garlic Allium sativum followed by analysis using 'cryogenic' GC-MS and HPLC revealed that only three major sulfur compounds are present: 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiin, 3-vinyl-4H-1,2-dithiin, and di-2-propenyl trisulfide. The first two compounds were also obtained by the use of 'cryogenic' GC-MS and on-column injection. Boiling the distilled extract of fresh garlic in water promotes the formation of many organosulfur compounds from both dithiins.
