To synthesize biochemical transformations occurring during garlic aging and assess extraction strategies for recovering stable bioactive compounds.
Reviewed mechanisms of phytochemical conversion during garlic aging processes, including the production of black garlic.
Assessed conventional and emerging extraction, isolation, and analytical methods used to recover garlic bioactive compounds.
Processing converts unstable precursors, such as alliin and thiosulfinates, into more stable derivatives, yielding higher concentrations of S-allyl cysteine, phenolics, and flavonoids.
The degree of bioactive transformation is governed by garlic variety, temperature, pH levels, moisture content, and total processing duration.
Key technical barriers include limited kinetic modeling, lack of process standardization, and the environmental impact of solvent usage.
