RESUMEN
Objective To establish a method for determination of allicin(diallyl trisulfide) in the ultrafine garlic powder by gas chromatography(GC) . Methods Allicin injection was extracted by supersonic wave with a mixed solvent hexane-anhydrous ethanol(1:4) in GC by capillary column and detected by hydrogen flame ionization detector(FID) ,using nitrogen as the carrier gas. Results The peak areas were proportional to the allicin concentrations and the standard curve showed good linearity,y=190 282.5x-11 734.5(r=0.999 3) within the range of 0.30～3.00 mg/ml,the average recovery was 84.6%-98.6 % with RSD of 1.85%～3.27%. Conclusion The method is simple,accurate with good repeatability,and it is applicable to the determination of allicin in the ultrafine garlic powder.
