Article Abstract

Women with estrogen deficiency are at the risk of suffering from neurological symptoms such as memory impairment. In the present study, we investigated the effect of garlic, Allium sativum L. (Asparagales: Amaryllidaceae), treated with subcritical water on memory impairment in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. OVX rats were administered garlic powder for 84 d. Hippocampus-dependent spatial memory was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Escape latency of the OVX rats increased compared with that of sham-operated rats. The prolonged escape latency of the OVX rats decreased to the level of that of sham-operated rats upon the administration of garlic powder (0.5% in feed). The weights of the body, uterus, and brain were not affected by the garlic powder administration. These results suggest that garlic powder treated with subcritical water mitigates memory impairment in OVX rats.

This study investigated the effects of supplementing drinking water with fermented vegetable extract on growth performance, immune response, antioxidant activity, and hematological parameters in broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old Cobb-500 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into four treatment groups, each comprising three replicates of 20 birds. The experimental groups were as follows: Group A (control, no extract), Group B (0.

Development and Application of a Novel 'Green' Antibacterial Black Garlic ()-Based Nanogel in Epidermal Wound Healing.

Research Background: Black garlic has been reported to have several health-promoting properties compared to fresh, raw garlic. The enzyme alliinase, which converts alliin to allicin, is deactivated at moderately high temperature, thus stripping away the typical pungent odour of fresh garlic during fermentation and rendering black garlic devoid of the typical garlic-like smell. To date, the antimicrobial activity of alliin-rich extract obtained from black garlic powder has not been reported.

We report the first syntheses-from commercially available 3-chloro-2-fluoroprop-1-ene ()-of key garlic-derived compounds containing sp-fluorine. We also report synthesis of fluoro-5,6-dihydrothiopyrans by trapping 2-fluorothioacrolein (). Thus, difluoroallicin (, -(2-fluoro-2-propenyl) 2-fluoroprop-2-ene-1-sulfinothioate) is prepared by peracid oxidation of 1,2-bis(2-fluoro-2-propenyl)disulfane ().
