“…Aqueous extracts of garlic had a statistically similar high alkaloid quantity; (12.67 and 13.02%) in local and hybrid garlic; the alkaloid concentration was lowest in acetone extracts of local and hybrid garlic (6.30 and 6.66%, respectively). Alkaloid concentration was in the range reported for other spices: pepper (13.44%), ginger (11.21%), and 2.54% in garlic [ 59 ]; 15.38 and 11.32% in ginger and garlic [ 60 ]; 0.15 and 0.012 mg AE/g for ginger and garlic [ 61 ]. Variations are attributed to the difference in the method of testing, as the previous study employed a spectrophotometric method.…”
