Abstract

Natures of the mysterious black garlic developed just by heating a fresh garlic in an incubator was analyzed on chemical and biological functions aiming at application for human health improvement. Then it was found that the S-allyl-L-cysteine deeply associated to the multi biological functions such as an anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, NK cells activity et al. And WHO, Wall Street Journal recommended to take it daily to maintain the heath conditions.

Introduction

    The Heat Stress Induced Black Garlic was not a new species in the classification but developed from the fresh garlic by treatment under the heat and moisture control circumstances for around a month without any other chemical additives [1, 2]. This manufacturing method was devised by the villager who had seen the diving women’s heavy work to collect shell from the sea bottom. They took a baked raw garlic before diving to get energy. Villager (Mr. Hamano) who saw and decided to devises some simple way for taking of raw garlic directly. After repeated tests, he finally got the protype of the Black Garlic by controlling temperature and humidity in a garlic processing box. Since the natures of the chemical facts and biofunction were not reported, then we initiated the black garlic research. This paper covers those requires and the evaluation of the black garlic in the world was also introduced.    

    • Develop elements of the Black Garlic

    Required conditions to develop the black garlic is just control of temperature and humidity in an incubator without any others. This simplicity is a great advantage for expanding of the temperature and black garlic making among the citizen in Japan. One of the points to note is toward the irritative volatile gas released from garlics processing. Concretely it is better to use the outside of house.      

    •  Chemical Constituents [3]
    • Bio-Functions of the Black Garlic

    5 Additional other biofunctions of the Black Garlic reported [5]

    Enforcement of anti-oxidant activity

    Strengthen immune system  

    Bacteria killing potency

    Suppress of carcinogenesis effect [6].

    6 World Wide Evaluation of The Black Garli biological effects

    In May 2006, the lack garlic made a debut via the TV and News Paper in Japan with a Title ’Stroger Antitumor potency than that of the raw garlics’ as shown in Photo 1.

    We submitted these results to the journal, but rejected of Latin nameof the black garlic It took some times to persuade the referees to explain the situation Black Garlic was developed in Japan with no Latin Name). It was as a historical debut of the black garlic. [2]

    °Encouraging Words from WHO [6]

    The black garlic produced in the land of the rising of the sun as it has developed elaborated producing technique (H. Hamano, 2004), This food has become world-famous thanks to recent scientist that has research by Japanese researcher J. Sasaki first demonstrated the benefits. It is good for you and regular consume. The black garlic is recommended by WHO. Lately, the tablet and capsule types of the black garlic were prepared for the client much easier to take.

    Mail from the Wall Street Journal [7]

    I am a United St ates journalist, and I write a consumer health column for the Wall Street Journalist I have seen some of your work and would love to speak with you or ask you questions by mail or both. Laura Johannnss (2016, Jun, 20 Life Health Aches and Claims.)

    [9] Conclusively Consideration

    The novel vegetable black garlic becomes almost 20years old after born in Japan He now armed with various bio-functions to help the citizen health conditions to fight the disease.  I have a great concern how the black garlic effect to s allergy, cancer, brain works, diabetes et al. Furthermore, lately the herb associate function project has launched in the Saudi Arabia to develop new functional substance from the world scientists.
