(±)-L-Alliin (Alliin), a derivative of sulfur-containing amino acid found in garlic and other Allium species, plays a pivotal role in the distinctive odor and flavor of garlic as a major component of its oil. Moreover, it serves as a precursor to various biologically active compounds, with allicin being the primary active ingredient in garlic. The mechanisms through which alliin exerts its effects are multifaceted. Its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses underscores its antimicrobial activity. Notably, alliin demonstrates the capacity to inhibit specific enzyme activity.
