Abstract:
Garlic is characterised by medicinal properties due to the content of over 2000 biologically active substances. Numerous commercially processed garlic forms, which differ in the content of bioactive compounds, especially sulphuric, are available on the market. The knowledge of the types of bioactive substances present in garlic and its products, their changes during treatment and pro-health influence is of crucial importance to the diet supplement producers, doctors, pharmacists and consumers. Therefore, this work has aimed to characterise the most important bioactive substances of garlic, its preparations and describe in detail the role of garlic in dietoprophylaxis and dietotherapy.
