Allicin is a unique garlic odor that comes out of the mouth when eating garlic.

Allicin is a component which is produced by decomposition of the odor-free component “Alliin” by enzymes, so it is a component that is not present in garlic in the form of uncooked balls.

Well, this allicin. It is not that kind of thing that only smells, it plays the role of proper nutrients.

□ About the smell of allicin

Allicin’s unique garlic odor is generated as a strong odor when alliin is released from the cells that were destroyed by cutting or cutting with a knife and the alinase undergoes a chemical change.

The enzyme alinase degrades odorless alliin. Then, by combining the two, it changes chemically to allicin with a pungent odor.

Also, because this chemical change is an enzyme group included in the Allium plants, it happens not only in garlic but also when cutting onions of the same Allium plant.

□ Characteristics of black garlic

In the case of aged black garlic, the enzyme Alinase, which is weak to heat during aging, is drastically reduced by aging.

In other words, the generation of allicin is also suppressed, and the garlic odor is drastically reduced. However, even if the components such as alliin and allinase decrease sharply, the nutrients contained in garlic itself do not change, but it is a feature of black garlic that increases rather.

This is because various nutrients are combined in the process of ripening and nutrients are increased by the occurrence of chemical reactions.

□ Effect of black garlic

Black garlic has the effect of making the skin smooth. This is because the polyphenols that are antioxidants are strengthened and increased in the process of becoming garlic, and the increase rate is said to be 10 times. It is believed to be due to a stronger role in preventing cellular senescence in the body.

In addition, it contains a large amount of the component S-allylcysteine that promotes blood flow, contains as many as nine kinds of amino acids and methylallyl trisulfide essential to the human body, and is high in protein, It contains moderate carbohydrates, and contains sodium, vitamin B1, phosphorus, ajoen scolnidine, melanoidin, and many other nutrients necessary for health.
