To enhance the utilization of green garlic as food materials, the nutritional and microbiological properties of green garlic powder and bread were investigated. Proximate compositions of green garlic powder were as follows; moisture $6.99\%$, crude protein $7.62\%$, crude lipid $1.84\%$, crude ash $6.60\%$, crude fiber $9.88\%$ and carbohydrate $76.95\%$. Free sugars were composed of glucose, glucose and sucrose. The major minerals of green garlic powder were k(1,140 mg/100 g), Ca(679.05 mg/100 g), P(342.09 mg/100 g) and Na(130.42 mg/100 g). In the total and free amino acid analysis, the major amino acids were methionine, cystine, proline and glutamic acid. When various amount of freeze dried green garlic powder were added in bread, bread with $0.5\%$ green garlic powder had lower level of total bacterial count compared with the control group at ambient temperature$(30{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$. Result of sensory evaluation showed that the preference scores decreased as the green garlic powder content increased. Through the result of these experiment we can conclude that the highest quality of green garlic powder content is no more than $0.5\%$ in making bread added with green garlic powder.

The quality characteristics (specific gravity, viscosity, color, texture and sensory evaluation etc.) of yellow layer cake added with black garlic powder were examined in order to use as a new functional food ingredient of black garlic powder. Specific gravity of cake batters was not affected by addition of black garlic powder. Viscosity (31,315~41,048 cP) of cake batters was increased as the addition level of black garlic powder increased. pH (7.54~6.18) and height (6.14~5.62cm) of cakes were decreased as the addition level of black garlic powder increased. Specific volume of cakes did not show any significant difference except the cake with 15% black garlic powder. In color of cake crust, crumb and batter, lightness (L) and yellowness (b) were decreased as the addition level of black garlic powder increased, while redness (a) was increased. Hardness and adhesiveness of cakes decreased as the addition level of black garlic powder increased Overall acceptability was the highest in yellow layer cake with 5% black garlic powder.

Yogurt base was prepared from skim milk supplemented with 0.2-1.0% (w/v) garlic powder and fermented with lactic acid bacteria (the mixed strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum and Streptococcus thermophilus) at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 18 h. Quality characteristics of the prepared yogurt were evaluated for acid production (pH and titratable acidity), number of viable cells, viscosity and sensory properties. The addition of garlic powder inhibited the growth of lactic acid bacteria and decreased the acid production. After 18 h incubation, titratable acidity of garlic yogurt was 1.28-1.08% and was lower than that (1.35%) of yogurt made with only skim milk. However, the viscosity of yogurt was remarkably increased by the addition of garlic powder. The sensory score of yogurt added with 0.2% garlic powder was similar to ordinary yogurt in flavor and overall acceptability. According to sensory score and fermentation characteristics, the optimum concentration of garlic powder was around 0.2%.

The serum lipid-lowering effect of garlic was examined in hypercholesterolemic rats. The food intake was not significantly different by garlic powder supplementation. The inclusion of 1% garlic powder in a diets containing 1% cholesterol brought a reduction in the serum cholesterol and triglyceride. Liver lipids were not affected by the addition of l% garlic Powder in hypercholesterolemic rats. Earlier studies have suggested that the effect of garlic on serum cholesterol may be related to the sulfur-containing amino acids of products released during protein digestion. However, our results in rats fed garlic powder diet showed no specific effect on plasma free amino acid concentrations. In conclusion. this study clears shows that garlic intake is able to reduce the levels of serum cholesterol in hypercholesteroolemic rats. However, further studies have to be done in order to elucidate the mechanism underlying this phenomenon.

In order to study the influence of sulphur-compound on the vitamin C contents of different vegetables-i.e. Korean green pepper, leaf, Bilum, leaf, Soybean sprouts, Mung bean sprouts, Cucumber-the garlic powder and minced garlic were used while the vegetables were cooked. The results garlic juice during scaling the vegetables the vitamin C contents of them were higher as much as 9.2~12.7% 2. When the scaled vegetables were seasoned the vitamin C contents were higher as much as 8.9~`17.5% by adding garlic powder and 7.3~14.9% by adding minced garlic. 3. Vitamin C loss of the cooked vegetables with room condition for 30 min, was higher as much as 15.2~34.5% compared to just cooking. 4. Vitamin C contents of vegetables after 30 min from cooking, compared to just cooking were higher of vegetables after 30 min from cooking, compared to just cooking were higher as much as shown below. 1) ~13.3% by adding garlic powder. 2) 4.0~9.3% by adding minced garlic.

Yogurt base was prepared from skim milk added with 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% (w/v) garlic powder and fermented with Lactic acid bacteria (the mixed strain of Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) at $42^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The yogurt products were evaluated for acid production such as pH and titrable acidity, number of viable cell, viscosity, color value and sensory properties. The titrable acidities of yogurt added with garlic powder were higher than that of control(0.73%). There was no significant difference in viable cell counts among samples except 0.3% garlic powder. The viscosity of 0.5% garlic yogurt was the highest than any other garlic yogurt. There was no significant difference in color difference among experimental groups. The overall sensory scores of yogurt added with 0.1% and 0.3% garlic powder were not significantly different with those of control. These results suggest that the added amounts of garlic powder to prepared yogurt are adequate below 0.3%.

This study was performed to investigate the body fat-lowering effect of garlic powder in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ coactivator-$1{\alpha}$(PGC-$1{\alpha}$)-luciferase transgenic mice (TG). In this study, we generated transgenic mice with a PGC-$1{\alpha}$ promoter (-970/+412 bp) containing luciferase as a reporter gene. Mice were fed a 45% high-fat diet for 8 weeks to induce obesity. Subsequently, mice were maintained on either a high-fat control diet (CON), or high-fat diets supplemented with 2% (GP2) or 5% (GP5) garlic powder for an additional 8 weeks. Dietary garlic powder reduced the body weight in the GP2 and GP5 groups, compared to the CON group. Furthermore, garlic supplementation significantly decreased the plasma levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and leptin in the GP5 group, compared to the CON group. Specifically, luciferase activity in liver, white adipose tissue (WAT), and brown adipose tissue (BAT) was increased by garlic supplementation in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the body fat-lowering effect of garlic powder might be related to PGC-$1{\alpha}$ by the increase in luciferase activity in liver, WAT, and BAT. Furthermore, transgenic mice might be useful for evaluating the body fat-lowering effect of various health functional foods.

Effect of garlic on cholesterol and selenium (Se) levels, and fatty acid composition in the broiler chicks (Indian River) fed diet containing 0, 2, 4, 6, and 10% lyophilized garlic powder (GA) for 6 weeks were determined. Supplementation of garlic powder significantly decreased cholesterol level in broiler compared to the control (p<0.05). Se levels were not significantly different (p>0.05) among treatment groups. Percentages of $C_{16:0}$ and $C_{18:1}$ were gradually decreased ($C_{16:0}$;20.62% of total fatty acid in the control to 17.71 % in 10% GA; $C_{18:1}$;34.08% in the control to 30.71 % in 10% GA), while that of $C_{18:2}$ was increased from 28.69% in the control to 35.89% of 10% GA diet (p<0.0l). These results demonstrate some active components of garlic reduce cholesterol level and affect fatty acid metabolism.
