Ki. Seo et al., Antibacterial activity of S-methyl methanethiosulfinate and S-methyl 2-propene-1-thiosulfinate from Chinese chive toward Escherichia coli O157 : H7, BIOS BIOT B, 65(4), 2001, pp. 966-968
S-Methyl methanethiosufinate (1) and S-methy! 2-propene-1-thiosulfinate (2)
were easily seperated from Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum L.) using simpl
e column chromatography. Both compounds showed significant antibacterial ac
tivities against E, roll O-157:H7 including spoilage microorganism in food,
Structural assignment was based on Mass and NMR-spectroscopic methods.
