Black Garlic is a kind of functional food that is made of fresh Garlic (Allium sativum L.) by fermenting the whole bulb or peeled garlic hair in a chamber that regulates temperature (60-90°C) and humidity (70-90%). The control of temperature, humidity, and fermentation time is the key to the production process. Black garlic extract is to further purify and concentrate the beneficial ingredients in black garlic according to different extraction ratios, such as 10:1 or 20:1, based on black garlic. It also means that taking 100mg of black garlic extract is equivalent to 1000mg or 2000mg of black garlic. In recent years, this pure natural plant-derived ingredient has been more and more favored by the market.
