SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:
The composition of headspace volatile (HSV) components was determined by direct HS-GC/MS analysis of fresh garlic leaves, stems, and bulbs, as well as granules obtained by extraction of dried bulbs. In all tested samples of fresh garlic parts, the most abundant HSV constituent was diallyl disulfide (65.6 – 46 %), while in granules, diallyl disulfide (27.1 %) and diallyl trisulfide (29.5 %) were the most abundant in approximately equal amounts. It has been shown that automated direct HS-GC/MS analysis can be used to determine volatile constituents of fresh garlic parts and commercial garlic granules.
