Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: Xinjiang garlic is renowned as "garlic with high allicin content" due to its high content of active ingredients. However, at present, it is mainly sold as fresh garlic and primary processed products, and the overall research level of deep-processed products still needs to be improved. Therefore, the research on deep processing of garlic and the improvement of the quality of garlic powder and its products can accelerate the development of the garlic industry towards refinement and high added value. At present, garlic medicines or dietary supplements at home and abroad are mainly divided into two categories: one is crude preparations made from freeze-dried garlic powder, which retains all the components of garlic and releases allicin in the body, but is limited by the content of allicin in the raw material, so the amount of allicin that can be produced is limited. Pharmacopoeias of many countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, use allicin and garlic allicin as quality control standards for garlic and its preparations; the other is mainly based on allicin's degradation product, allicin (diallyl trisulfide, C6H10S3, CAS: 2050-87-5). However, due to the fact that allicin can be synthesized artificially, there are many inferior products on the market, resulting in significant differences in product quality. The formulation of garlic powder standards is necessary for the modernization of garlic products and is required for the raw materials of deep-processed products such as medicines, health foods, cosmetics, and feed additives. At the same time, it will align with international garlic powder quality evaluation standards, and grade garlic powder based on characteristic indicators such as allicin and garlic allicin, which can guide relevant enterprises to purchase according to quality. The release and implementation of this group standard will fill the domestic gap and scientifically guide the development ori
