Beneficial health properties of garlic, as well as its most common adverse effect - distinctive breath odour - are well-known. In contrast, analogous research on the effect of garlic on axillary odour is currently missing. Here, in three studies varying in the amount and nature of garlic provided (raw garlic in study 1 and 2, garlic capsules in study 3), we tested the effect of garlic consumpti...

The immunomodulatory proteins present in garlic have recently been shown to be identical to the garlic lectins ASA I and ASA II [Clement F, Pramod SN, Venkatesh YP. Int. Immunopharmacol. 2010; 10: 316-324]. In this study, the stability of garlic lectins as a function of pH, temperature and denaturants has been examined in relation to biological activity (hemagglutination and hagocytosis). Stabi...

introduction: in this study, we evaluated the activity of garlic extract against dermatophytes which is planned to be used instead of chemical durgs. garlic has been widely used as medicine since ancient times for varieties of illnesses, including abdominal pain, parasitic infection, insect and snakebites, hemorrhoid and rheumatism. in the last decades, garlic has been reported to display antib...

Black garlic is produced as a result of the so-called “fermentation processes” whole heads or cloves kept under controlled conditions temperature and humidity for several weeks. During this long-term heat treatment, undergoes enzymatic non-enzymatic browning reactions, which greatly change its taste, aroma, physicochemical, organoleptic bioactive properties. most often in form cloves, recently ...

The study determined the effects of garlic, ginger and their mixtures on the growth, serum lipids, haematological indices, carcass and organs of broilers. Garlic and ginger were each added to broiler diets at 1, 1.5 and 2%. Four mixtures of garlic and ginger were also formulated. Control diet did not contain any test ingredient. The results showed that garlic, ginger and mixtures contained 7.41...

background: it has been reported that the chronic oral administration of garlic homogenate protected the rat heart from in vitro ischemic reperfusion injury. however, the biological effects of garlic juice on the heart are expected to be different from oral administration of it. objective: the present study was designed to investigate the effect of garlic juice on the isolated rat heart in isch...

Introduction. Garlic (Allium sativum) is believed to have been originated from Central Asia over 6,000 years ago, but has spread to almost everywhere long time ago. Garlic is the edible bulb of the lily family, Liliaceae. It is a relative of the onion and leek, and other related species containing the aromatic sulfur-based compounds, which contribute to the characteristic odor and taste, as wel...

The antifungal effect of twenty powdered spice plants and their extracts at concentrations of 2, 4, 8 and 1, 3, 6%, respectively was evaluated in relation to the radial mycelial growth of various soilborne fungi causing damping-off disease. The spice powder or extract were added to the culture medium PDA to obtain the proposed concentrations. Concentration of 8% of powdered spices and 6% of the...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding a commercial medicinal plant (mp) powder containing garlic (allium sativum) and thyme (thymus vulgaris) to diets that included olive pulp (op), on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks. a total of 240 day old male ross-308 broiler chicks were allocated into six iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic dietary groups with...
