What are the ingredients needed to black garlic extract?

The raw material of black garlic extract is not naturally grown garlic, but a deep-processed product obtained by fermenting ordinary white or purple garlic under high temperature (60-90 ℃) and high humidity (80-90%RH).In this process, the original starchy sulfides of wheat, such as allicin and alline, are degraded and S-allylcysteine ​​(SAC), polyphenols, melanoidins and oligofructose are formed.

When preparing the black garlic extract, roasted black garlic cloves are boiled, ethanol poured, vacuum concentrated and spray dried to obtain a powder. The higher yields undergo a second decolorization and deodorization process, resulting in a white or light brown powder without the smell of garlic.
