Abstract

Black garlic is made from fresh garlic by thermal processing. It is produced under certain temperatures and humidity to generate a product with greater content, taste, and texture. Additionally, black garlic has many benefits, such as being an antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, anticancer, antidiabetic, and cardiovascular protective. Thus, black garlic can be utilized as a treatment for tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the ingredients in black garlic, such as SAC, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and ajoene, can reduce levels of Mycobacterium TB, lessen plasma glucose levels, and increase plasma insulin in diabetes mellitus.
