PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for extracting and producing the sulfur-containing ingredients of garlic, capable of efficiently extracting and producing the pharmaceutically effective sulfur-containing compounds of the garlic. SOLUTION: This method for extracting and producing the sulfur-containing ingredients of garlic comprises adding 0-50 pts.wt. of water to 100 pts.wt. of garlic bulges, grinding the bulges, squeezing the ground product, controlling the juice to pH 6-8, adding an oil or fat to the juice, and subsequently leaving the mixture in a temperature range of 0-50 deg.C for 3 hr to 3 days to extract the sulfur-containing ingredients originated from the garlic in the oil or fat. The sulfur-containing ingredients contain two or more kinds of compounds among ajoene, propenylallyl thiosulfinate, methylallyl thiosulfinate, methyl ajoene and dithiin. When treating conditions are suitably selected, >=200 μg/g of ajoene, >=100 μg/g of the propenylallyl thiosulfinate, >=20 μg/g of the methylallyl thiosulfinate, >=20 μg/g of the methyl ajoene and >=300 μg/g of the dithin can be extracted in the oil or fat. |
