An investigation of the extracts from Allium neapolitanum has led to the isolation of 13 flavonoid glycosides, based on kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin. Four of them are new compounds and have been identified as: kaempferol 3-O-[[2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-beta-D- glucopyranoside]], isorhamnetin 3-O-[[2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-6-O-beta- D-glucopyranosyl]-beta-D-glucopyranoside], isorhamnetin 3-O-[[2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-6-O-beta-D-glycopyranosyl] beta-D-glucopyranoside]-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside and isorhamnetin 3-O-[[2-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-6-O-beta-D-gentiobiosyl]- beta-D-glucopyranoside]]. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-aggregation human platelet activity.

Essential oil of the aerial parts of Allium neapolitanum Cirillo collected in Sicily were analyzed by gas-chromatography-flame-ionization detection and gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry. Nineteen compounds were identified in the oil and the main components were found to be (E)-chrysanthenyl acetate (28.1%), (Z)-chrysanthenyl acetate (23.

Background: The use of edible flowers as an aesthetic and flavour component of specific dishes is gaining popularity, and their production is becoming an interesting niche market activity for growers. Allium is an important genus of flowering plants, also including traditional wild food species. The combination of tradition with the new uses of flowers is appealing, requiring, however, explorative acceptance assays for its exploitation.

Antioxidant activity of fresh Allium sativum L. (garlic) is well known and is mainly due to unstable and irritating organosulphur compounds. Fresh garlic extracted over a prolonged period (up to 20 months) produces odourless aged garlic extract (AGE) containing stable and water soluble organosulphur compounds that prevent oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals.

Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate whether the antihypertensive effect of garlic could to be associated to interactions with adrenergic and dopaminergic receptors involved in regulating blood pressure and to compare these data with those obtained from wild Allium species.
Methods: The aqueous extracts of bulbs or leaves of Allium sativum L. (garlic), Allium neapolitanum Cyr.
