The analysis mode results indicate the presence of Allicin, as evidenced by the signal observed at 161.3 m/z corresponding to the deprotonated molecular ion. However, the signal of interested compound for the sample (fresh garlic) is rather low. To enhance the signal intensity, the compound requires an extraction and purification process [5-10].
