  • Garlic has been consumed for a long time as a food in Korea. Among commercial garlic products, aged black garlic is known to contain bioactive ingredients. Giant garlic is large garlic with a mild and sweet flavor. However, there have been few studies on the bioactive effects of giant garlic. This study analyzed valid substances of giant black garlic (GBG), giant fresh garlic (GFG), normal black garlic (NBG), and normal fresh garlic (NFG). Moisture content of GBG decreased in comparison with that of GFG. Ash, crude protein, crude lipid, total pyruvate, S-allylcysteine, and S-allylmercaptocysteine contents were the highest in GBG. The pH values of GBG, GFG, NBG, and NFG were 3.77, 5.97, 3.94, and 6.10, respectively. Acidity of GBG was higher than that of GFG. Total sugar content of GBG increased while reducing sugar content was the same as that of GFG. Composition of amino acids except for histidine, lysine, and arginine in GBG was higher than that of GFG, and free amino acids excluding arginine, cysteine, lysine, phosphoethanolamine, and urea were higher than those of GFG. In minerals, Cu, Fe, and Mg contents were higher than those of GFG.

Inhibition of Lipoxygenase Activity by the Extract of Various Processed Garlic - Inhibitory Effect of Garlic Extracts on Soybean Lipoxygenase Activity - (마늘의 가공 조리방법에 따른 Lipoxygenase활성도 저해효과 -마늘 추출액이 Lipoxygenase 활성도 저해에 미치는 영향-)

  • The bioactivity of garlic extract was evaluated, based on the inhibition of soybean lipoxygenase. While the inhibition of lipoxygenase by the chloroform extract (1$_{50}$ value after 10min precirculation, 55mg/$m\ell$) of garlic homogenate shows the property as irreversible inhibitors, the aqueous extract (1$_{50}$ value, 65mg/$m\ell$) appeared to contain mainly reversible inhibitors. In the related study, diallyldislufide and dimethyldisulfide inhibited the enzyme with 1$_{50}$ value of 1.3mM and 18mM, respectively. These disulfides demonstrated both irreversible and reversible patterns of inhibition. In addition, synthetic alliin(allylcysteine sulfoxide) was found to inhibit the enzyme at high concentration (approximately 22%, at 10mM), and its decomposition products showed the irreversible property in the inhibition, in contrast to S-ethyl cysteine sulfoxide which expressed no significant inhibition. Thus, it is suggested that the garlic macerate contains both irreversible and reversible sulfur inhibitors.itors.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate pungency-related factors of field garlic (FG) and rice paddy garlic (RG) from Youncheon province. Allicin, alliin, and S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) contents were analyzed by HPLC. In addition, activities of alliinase, GTPase (${\gamma}$-glutamyltranspeptidase), and pyruvate content of garlic were measured. The moisture content of RG (65.86%) was higher than that of FG (63.34%). However, crude lipid, crude protein, crude ash, and carbohydrate contents of RG were lower than those of FG. The alliin contents of FG and RG were 8.97 and 8.22 mg/g, respectively. The allicin content of FG (2.83 mg/g) was higher than that of RG (2.22 mg/g). Further, SAC content of FG (1.74 mg/g) was higher than that of RG (0.104 mg/g). Alliinase activities of FG and RG were similar, whereas the GTPase activity of FG was higher than that of RG. These results show that the stronger pungency of FG is due to the higher amount of alliin and SAC as well as the higher activity of GTPase compared to RG.
