Abstract: Allium is a genus of plants with high medicinal and diet value that contains a variety of bioactive constituents, including sulfur compounds, steroidal saponins, flavonoids, polysaccharides, nitrogen-containing compounds and so on. The physiological function of bioactive constituents in Allium, including antioxidant, antitumor and antibacterial role, prevention centum cerebrovascular diseases were reviewed in this paper, and the prospects for their application were discussed. It is expected that this review will provides a theoretical basis for further development and utilization of Allium.

Key words: Allium, bioactive constituents, physiological function, application
