  • Nutritional and Therapeutic Potential of Allium Vegetables
    18 Journal of Nutritional Therapeutics, 2017, 6, 18-37 Nutritional and Therapeutic Potential of Allium Vegetables Ravi Kant Upadhyay* Department of Zoology, D D U Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur 273009, U.P., India Abstract: Allium vegetables are highly nutritional, its dietary use improves digestion and mental health and lower down cholesterol level. Use of onions, garlic, scallions, chives and leeks show therapeutic efficacy against cardiovascular disease, hyperglycemia, and stomach cancer, Onions contain allylsulfides and flavonoids particularly quercetin that is an important anti-oxidative and reduces hepatocytes apoptosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat. Steroid saponins and sapogenins present in garlic bulbs are used to prepare soft soaps. β-chlorogenin is a characteristic steroid sapogenin from garlic that is used for skin ointment and as a shiner. Both garlic paste and soft garlic preparations are used for flavoring the food items. Garlic products that contain the most safe, effective, stable, and odorless components are the most valuable as dietary supplements. Garlic also contains non sulfur compounds such as steroid saponins. Alliums showed antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antitumor, anti-hyperlipidaemic, antiarthritic, anti-hyperglycemic anticarcinogenic potential. Allium vegetables contain organosulfur compounds, including DATS, diallyl disulfide (DADS), ajoene, and S- allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC), have been found to induce cell cycle arrest in cancer cells. Alliums have great ethnomedicinal importance as these are used as native remedies against wide spectrum of diseases including diabetes. Allium origin natural products are of great therapeutic and dietary use. These are most preferred items used by nutritionists, physicians, food technologists, food chemists. Green allium vegetables are good source of natural pharmaceutics which are good for health and act against nutritionally induced acute and chronic diseases.

  • Garlic, an Approach to Healthy Life
    Sharma N et al / IJRAP 2010, 1 (2) 358-366 Review Article Available online through www.ijrap.net NATURAL HEALING AGENT: GARLIC, AN APPROACH TO HEALTHY LIFE Nagori B.P., Solanki Renu, Sharma Neha* Lachoo Memorial College of Science and Technology, Pharmacy Wing, Jodhpur, India Received: 03-11-2010; Revised: 28-11-2010; Accepted: 03-12-2010 ABSTRACT We have grown up in the era of so-called wonder drugs. Garlic is one such drug which is grown globally. China is by far the largest producer of garlic, with approximately 10.5 million tonnes (23 billion pounds) annually, accounting for over 77% of world output. This leaves 16% of global garlic production in countries that each produces less than 2% of global output. The purpose of this study is to highlight new applications of cultivated as well as wild garlic in medicine. Areas of beneficial activity include anti- AIDS, anti-cancer and anti-cardiovascular disease and anti-infectious properties, amongst others. Garlic is uniquely the richest dietary source of many otherwise rare healthful sulphur compounds, plus organic selenium and germanium besides other essential nutrients and active health-promoting phytochemicals. Various forms of garlic are available, the most effective being fresh, powdered, distilled and especially aged garlic, which later lacks the irritant effect of fresh garlic, yet possesses equal or greater bio-active range and potency. Since many years cultivated garlic (Allium sativum) has served the medicinal purpose. As demand of garlic is continuously increasing due to its valuable features, other garlic species are screened for potential benefits of cultivated garlic with less side effects.

  • Garlic, Part 1
    Bell County Master Gardeners Tip of the Week By Candy Mullen “Garlic, the Versatile Herb, part 1” With the prolific movies and books out about vampires and since it is October, I became curious about the tales of Garlic and what it is used for other than traditional cooking. Did you know that the irrational fear of garlic is alliumphobia? Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family Alliaceae. Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and rakkyo. Garlic has been used throughout history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The garlic plant's bulb is the most commonly used part of the plant. With the exception of the single clove types, the bulb is divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. The cloves are used for consumption (raw or cooked), or for medicinal purposes, and have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking. The leaves, and flowers (bulbils) on the head (spathe) are also edible, and are milder in flavor than the bulbs; they are most often consumed while immature and still tender. Additionally, the immature flower stalks (scapes) of the hardneck and elephant types are sometimes marketed for uses similar to asparagus in fries. The root cluster attached to the basal plate of the bulb is the only part not typically considered palatable in any form. The sticky juice within the bulb cloves is used as an adhesive in mending glass and china. In North America, Allium vineale (known as "wild garlic" or "crow garlic") and Allium canadense, known as "meadow garlic" or "wild garlic" and "wild onion", are common weeds in fields.

  • Problem: Onion and Garlic (Allium Canadense and Allium Vineale) Description: Wild Garlic (Allium Vineale) and Wild Onion (Allium
    Problem: Onion and Garlic (Allium canadense and Allium vineale) Description: Wild garlic (Allium vineale) and wild onion (Allium canadense) are two closely related plants that can become weed problems in home lawns and landscapes. Though wild garlic and wild onion look much alike, each has an odor that is characterized by its name – wild garlic smells like garlic and wild onion smells like onion. These plants are perennials that can also reproduce by seeds and aerial bulbils. Bulbils form at the top of the stem and are oval and smooth. Wild garlic also reproduces by underground bulb offsets, but wild onion does not. Both species produce a clump of plants that is unsightly in a lawn. Recommendations: Traditionally we have used 2,4-D or 2,4-D + MCPP + Dicamba (i.e. Trimec, Weed-Out, Weed-B-Gon). These products should be sprayed during March on a day that is at least 50 degrees. Newer products are Weed Free Zone and Speed Zone. Both are combination products that contain a formulation of Trimec plus carfentrazone. These are more active at temperatures near 50 degrees, which is lower than traditional products. A spreader-sticker added to the spray should help any of these products be more effective. At times, the spreader-sticker is already mixed into the weed killer; no additional amount is needed. Also, mowing immediately before the application may help increase control. These herbicides are also effective on dandelions. Commercial personnel can use metsulfuron (Manor and Bladet) or imazaquin (Image) on warm- season grasses. Though more effective than the combination products mentioned above, they will damage tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-season grasses.

(2001): Alliurn oleraceurn and A. vineale in the Czech Republic: distribution and habitat differentiation. - Prestia, Praha, 73 : 173- 184. The distribution and habitat differentiation of Allium oleraceum L. and Allium vineale I,. in the Czech Republic based on herbarium material is reported. Both species are documented from rather large number of localities all over the Czech Republic and do not show apparently difTcrcnt large-scale pattern of distribution. The attitudinal range of both species in the Czech Republic is very similar. Both species are concentrated from the colline to submontane belts (200- 600 m) but rarely occur also in the montane belt, especially A. oleraceum. Both species occur in a wide range of habitats ranging from rocks and arable fields to forests. Nevertheless, their relative frequencies within respective habitats significantly difTer. A. oleraceum frequently occurs in forests (especially in oak-hornbeam forests) and forest edges, on rocks, at field margins, on sunny slopes and in steppe communities. On the other hand, A. vineale is common in arable fields (namely in the past), fi eld margins, roadsides, ditch banks and meadows, but rare on rocks, in forests and scrub. Distribution and habitat differentiation of both species in the Czech Republic is compared with data from other parts of their di stribution area.

T Issued May, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, JANUARY 1 TO MARCH 31, 1929 (NOS. 78509 TO 80018) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 61 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The plant material included in this inventory (Nos. 78509 to 80018) for the period January 1 to March 31, 1929, reflects very largely testing experiments undertaken by the office with ornamental plants in several important genera. In nearly all cases the material recorded was secured by the purchase of seed, and, as is always true of such undertakings, some seed has given no germination, with the result that the experiments are not as advanced as might appear., This is particularly true of the sedums, the primulas, and the gentians, which form conspicuous parts of the inventory. The gardener will also notice the various other ornamentals, including the houseleeks, cyclamen, and ericas for more northern gardens; aloes, agaves, and mesembryanthemums for the South and Southwest, with the possible addition of the very interesting kalanchoes and the gingerlilies. The latter represent a collection purchased from India to see if other species might not be found for general use in the Southern and Gulf States. A preliminary and not altogether successful importation of plants of various daphnes that should be included among our ornamental shrubs shows that repeated efforts should be made to establish these charming plants. Several collections of acacias, banksias, grevilleas, and Ficus species should prove of interest in frost-free regions, particularly on the Pacific coast.
