Despite the nutritional and medicinal values of  Allium hookeri , its unique flavor (onion or garlic taste and smell) coming from sulfur containing compounds limits its usage as functional food. For comparative study,  A. hookeri  roots were prepared under two different drying conditions, namely, low-temperature drying that minimizes the volatilization of sulfur components and hot-air drying that minimizes the garlic odor and spicy taste of  A. hookeri . In GC/MS olfactory system, the odorous chemicals and organosulfur compounds such as diallyl trisulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and dipropyl trisulfide were significantly decreased in hot-air drying compared to low-temperature drying. The spiciness and saltiness taste were noticeably reduced, while sourness, sweetness, and umami taste were significantly increased in hot-air dried  A. hookeri  according to electronic tongue. Although the content of volatile sulfur components was present at lower level, the administration of hot-air dried  A. hookeri  extract (100 mg/kg  p.o. ) apparently prevented the body weight gain and improved insulin resistance in C57BL/6J obese mice receiving high fat diet. Results suggested that the hot-air dried  A. hookeri  possessing better taste and odor might be available as functional crop and bioactive diet supplement for the prevention and/or treatment of obesity.
