InterestHigh interest

EngagementModerate engagement

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions hint at potential practical applications, such as using milk or yogurt to manage garlic breath, showing some influence on consumer behavior.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that milk, especially whole milk, effectively reduces the concentrations of smelly compounds from garlic in the mouth, nose, and headspace, with water being the main ingredient responsible for this deodorizing effect.
  • Whole milk was more effective than fat-free milk because its higher fat content helped dissolve more hydrophobic garlic volatiles like diallyl disulfide and allyl methyl disulfide.
  • Consuming milk before eating garlic provides a better deodorizing effect than drinking it afterward and using milk or similar foods during the meal can help mask garlic breath while eating.

ニンニクを食べる「前」に、「牛乳」を飲むことで、口臭が発生しにくくなる。 ニンニクを食べた後に水を飲むのはよく行われるが、研究によれば水よりも牛乳の方が効果的で、しかも食べた後より食べる前に飲む方が効果的だそう。 https://t.co/kliTNVnBAp
