“…Garlic smell derived from sulfide components was reduced by autoclave treatment in HTPG, and the color of the powder became brown due to the Maillard reaction, suggesting that HTPG is similar to aged garlic extract (prepared by long-term aging of sliced raw garlic in alcoholic water (Amagase, 2006)) and fermented garlic (or black garlic) (Sato et al, 2006a;Sasaki et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2010), and contains S-allylmercaptocysteine, fructosyl arginine, and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivative, in addition to SAC (Imai et al, 1994;Ryu et al, 2001;Ichikawa et al, 2006;Sato et al, 2006b). A Korean research group which initially reported the HTPG production method identified an antioxidative substance, thiacremonone (Hwang et al, 2007), and showed that this substance alone exhibited an anticancer effect on human colon cancer cells and strengthened the growth inhibition effect of chemotherapeutic drugs (Ban et al, 2007;Ban et al, 2009).…”
