Garlic extracts contg. alliinase - have improved therapeutic activity for treating hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diarrhoea, intestinal worms etc.

摘要

Dry garlic extracts contg. active alliinase and alliin are new. The extract contains some of the active allinase present in the extn. residue. Compared to garlic powder, the extract contains more alliin, based on the amt. of alliinase. The dried extract also contains a powdered, water sol. acid, esp. in an amt. of at least 0.1 wt%. The alliin content of the extract is at least 2 wt% (based on the dry wt.). USE/ADVANTAGE - Alliin-contg. garlic extracts which contain no alliinase have no therapeutic value. The alliinase in the dry extracts is activated by addn. of water and only then converts the alliin to allicin which is the active antibiotic effective against intestinal disease-causing bacteria. Alliin is odour-free.
