Studies are being carried out on achieving the maximum quality of garlic through various approaches. In Bangladesh, new varieties (BARI 1–4, BAU-1, BAU-2, BAU-5) have been recently developed by artificial selection to enhance their quality. The present study aimed evaluate potency in terms bioactive properties and organosulfur compounds content using different bioassay GC–MS techniques while comparing them with other accessible (Chinese, Indian, Local). variety, BARI-3 showed highest antioxidant activity total phenolic content. It was also found level a potent blood pressure-lowering agent, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiine (78.15 %), which is never reported any at this percentage. However, local variety exhibited greater inhibitory against tested organisms including multidrug-resistant pathogens compared varieties. This primarily shows potential these two kinds for further utilization development.
