1. What is Black Garlic Extract?
Black garlic extract is a functional ingredient produced through a 60-90 day precision fermentation process of fresh garlic (Allium sativum). This transformation converts pungent allicin into 23 stable bioactive compounds, including:
Fermentation-specific components: S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC), 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF)
Upgraded sulfides: Diallyl Trisulfide (DATS), Cycloalliin
Polyphenol complexes: Ferulic acid, Quercetin, etc.
With an ORAC antioxidant value of 58,900 μmol TE/g, it surpasses fresh garlic by 11-fold and blueberries by 15-fold.
2. Core Components and Mechanisms
(1) SAC Defense System
Antioxidant: Neutralizes hydroxyl radicals 12x more effectively than vitamin E
Detoxification: Activates hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase
Neuroprotection: Crosses the blood-brain barrier to clear β-amyloid
(2) 5-HMF Anti-Glycation Network
Blocks AGEs formation (3x stronger than aminoguanidine)
Repairs glycated collagen fibers
(3) Organosulfur Compound Matrix
