ABSTRACT

The studies were aimed to determine the biological value of young garlic plants and a possibility of using them for consumption purposes. The experimental material were the aboveground parts (false stem and leaves) of winter garlic cultivated for bunch crop from planting air bulbs. The quantity and quality of the yield were established. The content of total carbohydrates (18.82-21.52%), L-ascorbic acid (7.16-8.51%), chlorophyll (0.024-1.044 mg in 1 kg of fresh weight) and crude fibre (1.37-1.60%) was determined in the fresh weight. The studies also provided the content of dry weight. In both examined years the picking of the plants was performed 30 and 60 days after the emergencies.

Key words: Allium sativum L., garlic, leaves, chemical content.
