How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Allicin transformation and garlic processing involve chemically distinct e-ajoene; this provenance does not transfer the product's effects to allicin.
Experimental context and source evidence
- evidence_access
- Primary indexed abstract reviewed; full methods, exact concentrations or species-specific attribution remain unextracted unless explicitly stated in the abstract or separately verified publisher text.
- experimental_model
- Chemical preparation/transformation scope; media determine product mixture.
- interpretation_status
- Source-derived extraction of a fact-checked reference; access is explicit, not independent raw-data verification.
- limitations
- DADS/DATS and ajoene remain distinct. This qualitative preparation relationship does not establish human metabolic yield or tissue exposure.
- plain_language
- Allicin transformation and garlic processing involve chemically distinct e-ajoene; this provenance does not transfer the product's effects to allicin.

**Distinct sulfur compounds.** Alliin, allicin, diallyl disulfide (DADS), diallyl trisulfide (DATS), E-ajoene, Z-ajoene, and the two vinyldithiin isomers require separate records. Preparation conditions influence the transformation products and ajoene isomer ratio. S-allylcysteine (SAC) has a thioether linkage; S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC) is a mixed disulfide. SAMC can arise by reaction with cysteine, whereas SAC is not another name for allicin. Food processing products, biological reaction products, and metabolites should not be collapsed into one chemical family that inherits every member's effects.
