Extraction technology - efficient extraction of allicin

1. Raw material selection and processing:

Select fresh garlic without mildew, thin skin and thick flesh. Fresh garlic has sufficient enzyme activity and alliin content. Wash the garlic thoroughly, peel off the skin, and ensure that subsequent processing is not contaminated.
2. Crush:

Use a sharp knife to gently chop the garlic into small pieces as small as possible, so as to better destroy the cell wall and release alliin. After chopping, place the garlic in a clean container and let it stand for 15 minutes to fully catalyze the alliin and allinase in the garlic.
3. Alcohol extraction:

Add the chopped and activated garlic to an appropriate amount of temperature control. In the trial ethanol at 20-25 degrees, alcohol can quickly dissolve allicin and provide it with a relatively inert environment. Stir for 3-5 minutes to fully contact the alcohol and garlic, and avoid violent stirring to introduce too much air to promote oxidation
4. Filtration and concentration:

Filter the mixture with fine gauze or natural cloth to remove solid residues, retain the clear liquid containing allicin and alcohol, and put it in a low temperature environment for concentration.
5. Storage:

Place it in a low temperature environment to maximize activity. Since the activity of allicin decreases over time, it is recommended to use it as soon as possible after extraction. It can be packaged in small packages for easy use.

Is allicin harmful to the human body?

 

Allicin has long been considered a low-toxic, safe substance. Its acute, subacute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity tests have shown no toxic side effects, and no reproductive or developmental toxicity.

The subjects took 900 mg of garlic powder containing 1.3% allicin daily for 6 consecutive months, and no adverse reactions were found in the subjects.
