Furthermore its high vitamin C content confers considerable nutritional value. A. roseum leaves had high anthocyanidin content pg 100 g DW . Much is known about the anthocyanins of A. cepa bulbs and leaves of A. victorialis and A. schoenoprasum Terahara et al. 1994 Fossena et al. 2000 Slimestad et al. 2007 . Moreover A. roseum had a typical carotenoids content Table 4 of leafy vegetables which is higher than those of legumes and fruits Combris et al. 2007 .

Allium roseum L. var. odoratissimum bioactive substances content. Allicin content Garlic antibacterial bioactive principal was identified as diallylthiosulphinate and was given allicin as trivial name since 1944. This bioactive substance is also detected in A. roseum with a concentration equivalent to pg mL. This result is similar to that mentioned by Miron et al. 2002 in garlic pg mL . Allicin diallylthiosulfinate is the most abundant organosulfurous compound representing about 70 of the overall thiosulfinates formed upon garlic cloves crushing Miron et al. 2002 . Antioxidant activity The antioxidant activities of leaf extracts were assessed and confirmed using two functional analytical methods based
