Allicin
Allicin is the principal sulphur-containing defense compound of crushed garlic and the molecule responsible for the bulb's sharp pungency and most of its reputed biological activity.
It is a thiosulfinate with the formula C₆H₁₀OS₂ (diallyl thiosulfinate). The compound does not exist in intact cloves. It is generated within seconds when the cell-wall enzyme alliinase contacts its substrate alliin after mechanical damage.
We source bulk Allicin from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Shaanxi. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Allicin is highly unstable in pure form, so the commercial trade deals almost entirely in stabilised or assayed preparations rather than the free molecule.
The most common supplement-grade material is garlic powder standardised to a guaranteed allicin yield, typically 0.6 to 1.3 percent by enzymatic potential when reacted with water under defined conditions.
Enteric-coated tablet grades are formulated to bypass gastric acid, since allicin precursors degrade rapidly below pH 3.5. These are graded on an allicin-release basis verified by dissolution testing.
Liquid garlic extracts stabilised in glycerin or propylene glycol carry allicin contents in the 1000 to 5000 ppm range and are used by topical and veterinary formulators.
Specialty chemical suppliers sell reference-grade synthetic allicin at 95 percent purity in small quantities for analytical and research use, shipped frozen and used within weeks.
Applications
- Dietary supplements positioned for cardiovascular and immune support, generally as enteric-coated tablets or aged-garlic capsules
- Standardised garlic powder for tablet, capsule, and softgel formulation in the nutraceutical channel
- Liquid garlic concentrates for tincture and syrup formats
- Topical antifungal and antibacterial preparations including creams and wash solutions
- Veterinary feed additives for poultry and swine, used as an antimicrobial growth promoter alternative
- Aquaculture feed for shrimp and finfish where natural antimicrobials are preferred
- Functional food ingredient in savory snacks, dressings, and meat marinades for flavour and label appeal
- Cosmetic actives in scalp and anti-acne formulations on a small specialty scale
- Plant-protection sprays for organic horticulture targeting fungal pathogens and insect pests
- Research reagent for studies on thiol chemistry, quorum sensing, and redox biology
Brands Using Allicin

How We Help Source Allicin
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Allicin out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Allicin together with other ingredients such as Arachidonic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 and Chondroitin Sulphate Sodium into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Allicin itself is not separately listed by most food authorities because it is treated as a constituent of garlic rather than an isolated additive.
Garlic and garlic preparations are GRAS in the United States under 21 CFR 182.10 and 182.20 when used as a spice, natural seasoning, or flavouring.
The European Food Safety Authority has reviewed garlic preparations and standardised garlic powder under the novel food and food supplement frameworks. Several allicin-yield-standardised extracts hold national authorisations in Germany under the Commission E monograph for Allium sativum.
Pharmacopoeial monographs for garlic powder appear in the European Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopeia, and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, each with assay limits expressed as allicin or alliin equivalents.
For veterinary feed use, garlic and allicin-standardised preparations are listed as sensory feed additives in the EU register and as flavouring agents in the U.S. AAFCO framework.
Manufacturing Process
Industrial allicin is almost never isolated as the pure compound. Production focuses on generating and preserving it in matrix form.
The standard route begins with fresh garlic (Allium sativum) bulbs that are peeled, sliced, and freeze-dried or hot-air dried under temperature control to keep alliin and alliinase active in separate cellular compartments. The dried material is milled to a free-flowing powder and tested for enzymatic allicin yield.
For tablet manufacture, the powder is compressed and coated with an enteric polymer such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate. The coating ensures alliinase and alliin meet only after gastric transit, releasing allicin in the small intestine.
Liquid extracts are prepared by macerating fresh garlic in cold water, allowing the enzymatic reaction to complete, then stabilising the filtrate in a glycerin or oil carrier at low temperature.
Synthetic allicin for research use is prepared by oxidation of diallyl disulfide with hydrogen peroxide or peracids in cold methanol, followed by silica chromatography under inert atmosphere.
