The cytological features including chromosome number, karyotypic characteristics, C-banding and silver NOR-banding were investigated in a local cultivar of Allium sativum L., from Turkey. Actual lengths, relative lengths, L/S arm ratios of mitotic chromosomes were calculated from best six metaphase plates. Only Chromosome 5 was submedian, all the others were median. C-banding was observed on 4 ...

the aim of this study was to optimize the encapsulation conditions of garlic oil (go) with β-cyclodextrin (go/β-cd) inclusion complex by the co-precipitation method. response surface optimization of encapsulation of go with β–cd was performed with a three-variable, three-level and the optimum conditions were as follows: temperature: 35oc, core/wall: 8/100, and wall/solvent: 5.5/100. the complex...

The problem of disease due to dengue virus infection is still a health concern, especially in tropical countries. One the efforts made explore vegetable insecticides as larvicides for vectors, Aedes aegypti mosquito. Garlic (Allium sativum.

The efficacy of methanolic extracts and powders of 12 spices (Pimpinella anisum, Scorodophleuszenkeii, Xylopiaparviflora, Eugenia caryophyllus, Fagara leprieurii, Fagara macrophylla, Monodora myristica, Olax subscorpioidea, Xylopiaaethiopica, Allium sativum, Zinziber officinale and Cinnamomum zeylanicum) in stabilizing crude soyabean oil during accelerated storage was assessed. The phytochemica...

BACKGROUND Garlic is considered a rich source of many compounds, which shows antimicrobial effects. The ability of microorganisms to adhere to both biotic and abiotic surfaces and to form biofilm is responsible for a number of diseases of chronic nature, demonstrating extremely high resistance to antibiotics. Bacterial biofilms are complex communities of sessile microorganisms, embedded in an e...
