After eating garlic, I'm worried about "smell". Since the unique odor remains for a long time, many people may refrain from meeting people when they plan to meet.
I found a product that seems to solve such an odor problem. "Garlic paste that doesn't bother you the next day" sold by Aizu Tenpo Brewery. Is it true that "I don't mind the smell the next day", I actually tried it. The price is 300 yen (excluding tax).
◆ What kind of product?
The postprandial odor of garlic is said to be generated when the component called alliin contained in garlic is changed to allicin, which is the causative component of odor, by an enzyme, and then changed to various odor components. Aizu Tenpo's "Postprandial Deodorant Garlic" is a vegetable-derived postprandial deodorant that treats garlic. Since the postprandial deodorant wraps allicin, which causes odor, to prevent it from changing to garlic odor, you will not feel the odor remaining after eating in 3 to 4 hours (depending on the individual). The product was developed under the guidance of Dr. Kentaro Kaneko, a former professor at the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Applied Life Sciences, Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University.
◆ I tried it
It is a paste with garlic grains remaining, and has a coarser finish than general garlic tubes. If you lick it a little, you will feel a garlic-like flavor and a faint acidity.
You can use it for cooking in the same way as usual garlic. This time, the chicken was soaked in soy sauce and garlic for about 30 minutes and baked. Believe in the product and add more garlic than usual.
Garlic works well on the aroma of soy sauce, and it's delicious! The rice goes on and on with a punchy flavor. The deliciousness and ease of use for cooking are ◎.
◆ What is the essential odor?
Immediately after eating, the familiar flavor of "I ate garlic" remains in my mouth. It feels a little refreshing after brushing my teeth, but it still feels like it's still there. About four hours later, the presence of garlic had disappeared so much that I forgot to eat it! If the level is 10 after a meal, it will be about 1.5 after 4 hours. When I asked a friend I met afterwards, "Do you notice that you ate garlic with a smell?", He said, "I didn't understand at all." You did it!
There are individual differences in how they feel, but if you use "garlic paste that doesn't bother you the next day," you will feel less anxious about the remaining odor. Garlic rice, ajillo and peperoncino can be enjoyed without worrying about the next day's schedule. This is recommended for those who like garlic dishes but have refrained from doing so!
