Part1. What is aged black garlic extract?
Black garlic extract is extracted from underground bulbs of black garlic, and sulfur-containing compounds are the main biologically active substances. It has the functions of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-cancer, enhancing immunity and delaying aging. Black garlic has developed from a single food industry to multiple industries such as cosmetics, health products, and medicine.
Part2. Physiological function
1. Anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects
Black garlic extract can improve the anti-tumor ability of mice, so the splenocyte culture line of mice fed with black garlic extract was used to clarify the anti-tumor mechanism; this study found that black garlic can reduce the size of fibrosarcoma in BALB/c mice, Reaching 50% of the size of the control group, it can be seen that black garlic has a strong anti-tumor ability.
2. Anti-aging effect
Black garlic extract contains selenoproteins and selenium-containing polysaccharides, which have a strong ability to scavenge superoxide free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, so they can play an anti-aging role. Studies have shown that the ethanol extract of black garlic has a certain effect on delaying aging. It is also found that black garlic contains many amino acids, organic sulfides, vitamins and other substances, which also have certain effects on preventing atherosclerosis and anti-aging. The germanium element in black garlic also has anti-aging effects.
3. Hepatoprotective effect
Black garlic has very strong antioxidant activity, so it can protect the liver by inhibiting the damage of lipid peroxidase to the membrane structure of liver cells. There are more amino acids in black garlic, such as alanine and asparagine, which can enhance liver function and protect the liver.
4. Enhance immune function
Studies have shown that the fat-soluble volatile oil in black garlic can significantly improve the phagocytosis of macrophages and enhance the immune system; allicin has the function of activating the cell membrane composed of glycolipids, can improve its permeability, and strengthen the metabolism of cells In addition, every 100g of black garlic is rich in 170mg of lysine, 223mg of serine and 7mg of VC, all of which have the effect of enhancing human immunity. It also contains 1.4mg of zinc, which participates in the regulation of hormones. Synthetic, can also improve the body's immunity.
5. Anti-influenza function
Alliin and allinase produce allicin after contact, which has broad-spectrum antibacterial and bactericidal effects. It has a killing effect on dozens of popular viruses and various pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, the volatile substances and extracts (sulfur-containing compounds) of black garlic have obvious inhibitory and killing effects on various pathogenic bacteria in the test tube, and it is the strongest antibacterial and bactericidal effect among natural plants found so far. .
6. Promote the physical recovery function of diabetic patients
Black garlic can affect the synthesis of glycogen in the liver, reduce its blood sugar level and increase the plasma insulin level. Among them, allicin can reduce the blood sugar level of normal people. Black garlic also contains S-methyl cysteine sulfoxide and S -Allyl cysteine sulfoxide, this sulfide can inhibit the G-6-P enzyme NADPH, prevent the destruction of islets, and have the effect of lowering blood sugar; the allyl disulfide in black garlic also has this effect; black garlic The alkaloids contained in it also have the components of lowering blood sugar, increasing the function of insulin, and more importantly, it has no effect on normal blood sugar levels.
7. Antioxidant
Allicin is a natural antioxidant that can neutralize and scavenge free radicals produced by peroxides, so it has a good liver-protecting effect in traditional Chinese medicine.
8. laxative
Garlic polysaccharides belong to the fructans of the inulin class, and fructans are regarded as high-efficiency prebiotics, which have the function of bidirectionally regulating the microecology of the human intestinal tract. Garlic polysaccharide extracts have a laxative effect on constipation model mice. During the fermentation process of black garlic, fructans are degraded into fructo-oligosaccharides, which not only increases the sweetness, but also facilitates the absorption of organisms.
9. Sterilization and anti-inflammatory
Allicin and white oily liquid propylene sulfide (CH2CH2CH2-S) in black garlic are the main components that play a bactericidal effect and have a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect. They have a killing effect on dozens of popular viruses and a variety of pathogenic microorganisms . Even if this allicin is diluted 100,000 times, it can still kill typhoid bacillus, Shigella, influenza virus and so on in an instant. The volatile substances, extracts and allicin of black garlic have obvious inhibitory or killing effects on various pathogenic bacteria in the test tube. These sulfur-containing compounds also have a strong inhibitory and killing effect on spoilage fungi, and their effect is equivalent to or even stronger than chemical preservatives benzoic acid and sorbic acid. It is the strongest antibacterial effect found in natural plants so far.
Allicin contained in black garlic has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect ,which have bactericidal effect on Candida, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus typhi, Bacillus paratyphi, Amoeba, Trichomonas vaginalis, Rickettsia, Staphylococcus, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae and other pathogenic microorganisms.
Part3. Application Overview
With the development of science and technology, black garlic has developed from a single food industry to cosmetics, health care products, medicine and other industries by virtue of its extremely high nutritional value and medicinal health value. The products involved are also diverse, mainly black garlic. Garlic, black garlic capsules, black garlic sauce, black garlic, black garlic paste, black garlic slices and other products. The application of black garlic is mainly reflected in two aspects: its edible nutritional value and medicinal health value.
Part4. Clinical efficacy
Pungent in nature and flavor, warm and accessible, enters the lungs, spleen, and heart channels, and has the effects of moving stagnant qi, warming the spleen and stomach, and eliminating stasis.
