About the mechanism of antibacterial action of garlic

There are many people who know that it is good for their health but are shunned of garlic because of its strong smell.
However, garlic has various health benefits, and the smell is one of them. This time, I will explain the antibacterial action that is one of the effects of garlic.

□ About smell

The first characteristic of garlic will still smell.

In fact, that smell is very important and is a means of self-defense to protect yourself from foreign enemies.

When an insect bites a garlic, the component alliin comes into contact with the air and changes to allicin by the action of an enzyme substance called allinase, which generates a strong smell.

□ Antibacterial ingredient Allicin

Allicin, whose alliin was changed by the action of the enzyme, told us that it is an ingredient to protect garlic from external enemies.
This is actually a benefit that we can eat. The force works not only in the body but also outside the body such as the skin.

A substance called diallyl sulfide, which is formed by the decomposition of allicin, also has an antibacterial effect and inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria.

In addition to viruses, it has been confirmed that it is effective against pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella.

□ Ingenuity to enhance antibacterial action

Allicin, an antibacterial active ingredient in garlic, is a means of self-defense for garlic.
Allicin occurs a lot when scratched.

Therefore, the best cooking method is to grind and chop it finely.
As a result, allinase in the garlic reacts with oxygen in the air and efficiently converts alliin to allicin.

□ Finally

This time, I explained the antibacterial action of garlic.
You might have thought that the garlic smell was intense, but it was surprising that the smell had an important meaning and role.
Next time you eat garlic and feel it smells a bit, remember the antibacterial effect of the scent component introduced here.

Why is black garlic black?

Black garlic is popular as a health food, but why is garlic supposed to be white originally black?
This time, I will explain why black garlic is black and its effect.

□ Why is it black

Black garlic is made by aging raw garlic, and the original black garlic is not used.

Black garlic is aged in a hot and humid environment for approximately one month.

It will turn black in the process.

Since it is aged for a long period of one month, it is naturally aged without adding any additives.

This aging is called the Maillard reaction.

This is a chemical reaction caused by carbohydrates and amino compounds contained in garlic.

□ Effect of black garlic

・ Immunity

Eating black garlic increases S-allyl cysteine and increases immunity by increasing antioxidant activity.
In addition, black garlic has an effect on the immune cells in the body.

There are several immune cells in the body, but black garlic works on cells called natural killer cells.
These cells can directly attack harmful substances such as viruses that have entered the body.

However, there are no side effects of eating too much black garlic.

A side effect is an action that is different from what is expected to occur when a drug that targets a specific effect is taken into the body.
For this reason, black garlic is not a pharmaceutical product, so there are no side effects when ingested.

However, just because you don’t have the side effects of eating too much black garlic doesn’t mean you can eat as much.

For example, vitamin E, which is considered good for the body, has been shown to increase the risk of stroke if it is consumed without restriction.

□ What happens if you eat too much?

・ Blood will not stop

Ingesting several black garlics a day will keep your blood smooth and healthy.
This effect is influenced by the anticoagulant action of Ajoen.
