Garlic—Your Natural Choice
Garlic (Allium sativum) is widely used in cooking as food and spice worldwide. This alliaceous plant including other representatives of Allium family (onion, shallot) has a strong characteristic pungent smell and taste. It’s also one of the most ancient medicinal plants in herbalism and starting from central Asia over 6000 years ago, it is believed to have many benefits. Many laboratory studies have confirmed that garlic stimulates the immune system and does not harm friendly bacterial flora as well as its antioxidant properties etc (Imai J, 1994). The information of its healthy properties can be easily found in scientific articles.
The pungent smell garlic and its purported health-promoting effects have been attributed to its organosulfur compounds (Malgorzata I, 2009). The most important one in the intact garlic bulbs, which is the precursor of all others, is alliin (S-allylcysteine sulfoxide). The process of crushing or cutting of garlic cloves induces the release of the enzyme alliinase, which quickly in seconds catalyzes alliin into allicin. It is the reason of pungent flavor of garlic.
However, allicin is considered an unstable compound inside the body and is regarded as a transient compound which rapidly decomposes to other biologically important organosulfur compounds.
Garlic is now available in AuNutra® Industries Inc. in a variety of forms, including garlic straight powder, garlic freeze-dried powder, garlic granular (garlic granule), garlic flake (slice), as well as the garlic extract with Allicin content as high as 1~4%.
AuNutra®‘s Premium Garlic powder:
Garlic powder is generated from garlic cloves which are crushed and pulverized into powder. While garlic extracts are produced by soaking of sliced garlic cloves in extracting solution for a specific time. It is then concentrated after separation of the extracts from the solution.
