Allicin has broad application prospects and my country has its raw material advantages

Allicin, also known as garlic essential oil and garlic oil, has the scientific name diallyl thiosulfinate and is an organic sulfur compound. Allicin appears as a light yellow oily liquid with a strong garlic smell, spicy taste, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, chloroform or ether, unstable to hot alkali, and stable to acid. Natural allicin mainly exists in the bulbs of the garlic plant, but also in onions and other Allium species. Allicin can also be chemically synthesized. Most of the allicin currently on the market is a product of chemical synthesis.

Allicin has excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has obvious inhibitory and killing effects on Staphylococcus aureus, pneumococcus, Shigella, Bacillus anthracis, etc. In addition, allicin also has antioxidant, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic, and anti-platelet aggregation properties. It has multiple functions such as attracting food and aiding digestion. It has good application prospects in the fields of medicine, pesticides, feed, food, breeding and other fields.

In the field of pesticides, allicin is a botanical pesticide that has been registered as a pesticide. In the context of increasingly stringent environmental protection supervision, allicin is expected to be widely used in the field of pesticides; in the field of medicine, allicin is a natural antibiotic and is suitable for It can treat pneumonia, meningitis, tuberculosis, etc. caused by fungal and bacterial infections; in the field of feed, allicin has the functions of inhibiting bacteria and sterilization, attracting food and promoting growth, reducing toxins and repelling parasites, and it is non-toxic, has no residue, and has no side effects. , is an excellent substitute for antibiotics. Under the background of national antibiotic ban and reduction, allicin has good application prospects.

According to the “China Allicin Industry Market Demand and Investment Planning Analysis Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, my country is The world’s largest garlic producer and consumer, garlic production accounts for about 70% of global production. Domestic garlic is mainly produced in Shandong, Henan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Anhui and other regions. my country has overcapacity in garlic planting and a low degree of deep processing of garlic. The development of the allicin industry will not only improve garlic production capacity utilization and product added value, but will also help my country’s economy transform into a green one.

Allicin dosage forms include capsules, emulsions, tablets, syrups, powders, injections, etc. There are many allicin suppliers in my country, but they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. The allicin market concentration is not high. Domestic allicin suppliers include Qilu Zhongmu Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Dahua Guangji Biochemical Engineering Co., Ltd., Anyang Haohai Biotech Co., Ltd. Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Samp Biochemical Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that allicin has superior antibacterial properties, is non-toxic, environmentally friendly and has low residue characteristics, making it an excellent alternative to antibiotics As a product, under the background of stricter environmental protection supervision and the ban on antibiotics, the development prospects of the allicin market are good. my country is a major garlic producer in the world. The development of the allicin industry has raw material advantages. At the same time, the development of the allicin industry will also help to improve the degree of deep processing of garlic and the added value of products.
