Effect of addition of wild garlic (Allium ursinum) on the quality of kefirs from sheep's milk

The chemical composition of fresh flowers from Allium ursinum (ramsons, bear's garlic, wild garlic) growing in Bulgaria has been studied. Thymidine (1), adenosine (2), astragalin (kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol-3-O-D-glucopyranosyl-7-O-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-D-neohesperoside (5), and kaempferol-3-O-D-neohesperoside-7-O-D-glucopyranoside (6) were isolated from the n-butanol extract and identified by different spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. Thymine (7), uridine (8), uracil (9) and 5-chloro-uridine (10) were detected in the same extract by GC-MS. This is the first report of the occurrence of 1, 2, 4, 7 – 10 in the flowers of A. ursinum. GC-MS of the volatile components of fresh flowers and leaves from the same plant revealed a high content of sulfur compounds, some of which are reported for the first time for A. ursinum. The antimicrobial activities of extracts from fresh flowers and leaves of A. ursinum have been tested; some extracts exhibited moderate antifungal properties.

Seed Germination ◽

Allium Ursinum

One of the rarer problems that occur in growing medicinal and spice plants is ensuring the quality of the propagating material. Germination of seeds of one of these plants, Allium ursinum L., is slow. To improve that, stratification is used. In the experiment, which was carried out in Lithuania in 2016, evaluation of fourand five-week long stratification and the use of alkaline ionized (pH 8.6) water for germination affect for Allium ursinum L. seeds were evaluated. It was found that the above-mentioned intervals for stratification did not affect the beginning of seed germination. Furthermore, one of the possible reasons for slower germination was found, and it was the incidence of seed diseases caused by fungi and bacteria. Allium ursinum L. seeds were affected the most by Penicillium ssp. micromycetes. The longer the period of stratification, the more alkaline ionized water decreased the effect of Mucor ssp. micromycetes.

Wild Garlic

Recent studies revealed that from various ecological factors influencing nectar yield and quality of a plant, soil properties can be as important as microclimatic features. To date, few studies have investigated the relationship of soil characters to nectar traits of bee pollinated plants growing in natural associations. Our study intended to reveal which soil properties had the most powerful impact on nectar variables of wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.). Specimens were collected from fourteen habitats in two different years, and were potted in their original soil under the same climatic conditions. Nectar volumes and sugar concentrations were measured and soil samples were analysed for fourteen parameters. Statistical analyses revealed that the number of nectar producing Allium flowers, as well as the nectar volume and sugar content of nectar in individual flowers were influenced by both year and habitat. The humus, iron and sulphate content of soil showed negative correlation with the number of flowers producing nectar; total nectar volumes were negatively correlated with humus and iron content, but positively affected by magnesium content of the soil. Our results suggest that in addition to the effect of microclimatic factors, certain soil properties can have significant impact on nectar traits.
