✦ Synopsis


The antioxidant abilities of cultivated and wild species of garlic were investigated. Huge quantities of malonyldialdehyde (MDA), superoxide (O 2 .À ) and hydroxyl (OH . ) radicals were observed in the aboveground parts of plants examined. The highest quantities of O 2 .À and OH . were observed in the aboveground parts of wild Allium vienale L. where lipid peroxidation was also the highest. Carotenoid and vitamin C contents were the highest in leaves of cultivated Allium vienale L. where quantities of MDA, O 2

.À and OH . were small indicating its high antioxidant ability.
