Abstract
The essential oil of Egyptian garlic was obtained by steam distillatio n and the oil sample investigated by gas chromatography-flame ionisati on detection (GC-FID), GC-mass spectrometry (MS) and GC-FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). As sulphur-containing main constitue nts (concentration higher than 1%) of this oil, diallyltrisulphide (29 .7%), diallyltetrasulphide (4.4%), diallyldisulphide (3.2%), diallylsu lphide (2.5%) and methylallyltrisulphide (2.1%) were identified.
