Diallyldisulfide CAS#:2179-57-9
Diallyl disulfide ranks among the main allergens present in garlic (Allium sativum) and onions.Clinical patch test data supports this connection: for patients who already tested positive for garlic sensitivity via patch tests, all 13 of those who underwent further testing with 5% diallyl disulfide in petrolatum also had a positive allergic reaction.

Diallyldisulfide CAS#2179-57-9 Application
The applications of Diallyldisulfide are mainly concentrated in the food, pharmaceutical, and scientific research fields. Its core applications can be summarized into three categories:
Food Sector: As a natural flavor compound, it is a key component contributing to the unique pungent flavor of garlic, onions, and other Allium species, and is commonly used in food additives to enhance their flavor.
Pharmaceutical and Health Research: It possesses certain biological activity, and studies have shown that it may have potential antibacterial and lipid-regulating effects. It is one of the reference ingredients in the development of related health products or drugs in the pharmaceutical field.
Allergy Research Sector:As a major low-molecular-weight allergen in garlic, it is frequently used in clinical allergy testing (such as patch testing) to help diagnose individuals allergic to garlic.
