Preparation and Keeping Quality of Garlic Oleoresin

An attempt was made in this study to investigate the possibility of processing garlic into an garlic oleoresin and investigate on the storage stability of it. To obtain a garlic oleoresin, water, phosphoric acid, garlic extract, poly sorbate and KM-72 as antiform agent were mixed with lecithin, and then these mixtures were homogenized at for , cooled down to , and finally mixed with TBHQ (tert-butylhydroquinone) as antioxidant and garlic essential oil. Optimum components for garlic oleoresin consisted of 1.0% garlic essential oil, 10.5% garlic extract, 10.0% poly sorbate, 0.01% KM-72, 18.0% lecithin, 0.05% TBHQ, 0.15% of phosphoric acid solution and 60.0% water. Judging from thiosulfinate and pyruvate content, and sensory evaluation, quality damage of garlic oleoresin hardly occurred at but occurred considerable level at during storage for 60 days.
