THE BLOCKING EFFECT OF GARLIC EXTRACT ON THE IN VITRO CHEMICAL FORMATION OF NITROSAMINES / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

In the present study, it has been found that garlic extract has the ability of blocking the formation of DMN, DEN and DBN in vitro under the conditions simulating those of gastric juice. There are very good dose-response relationships between the dosage of garlic extract and the blocking effect on the formation of DEN and DBN.The concentration of nitrite can be lowered with garlic extract. The dosage of garlic extract and the remains of nitrite show highly significant negative correlations. This may be partial mechanism of blocking effect of garlic extract on the formation of nitrosamines.
