Abstract


The purpose of this research was to analyze the morphology and physico-chemical components of several Vietnamese garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs. Particularly, we collected four specific garlic bulb samples in Ly Son Island (Quang Ngai province), Kinh Mon (Hai Duong province), Ninh Hai (Ninh Thuan province), and Van Ninh (Khanh Hoa province). A total of five descriptors of whole garlic, including the weight, segment amount, height, diameter and the diameter of the root, and five characteristics of garlic segment, including the weight of garlic segment, the height of garlic segment, the diameter of garlic segment, the length of the outer border, and the length of the inner border, have been calculated. Physicochemical properties, including humidity, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, volatile organic sulfur compounds, water-soluble compounds, allicin, total polyphenol, and salt, were analyzed in the garlic samples. Interestingly, the allicin contents in Ly Son, Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, and Hai Duong garlic samples were 96.82, 106.98, 165.34, and 411.61 mg/kg, respectively. The micronutrient contents, like potassium, magnesium, manganese, boron, molybdenum, and zinc, were estimated in the garlic samples. Our study could provide solid data for the characterization of specific descriptors of four Vietnamese garlic cultivars.
