It has been suggested that garlic has many useful properties. These properties include it being antithrombotic, antibacterial, anticarcinogenic and antifungal. Throughout this investigation the antibacterial property will be investigated. The chemical Allicin is said to be responsible for garlic's inhibition of bacterial growth and research has suggested that this is lost when garlic is heated. This should mean that garlic inhibits bacterial growth less as it is heated for longer amounts of time. There is no clear information about how long garlic is exposed to heat before it loses it antimicrobial activity and at what temperature this occurs. SUMMARY OF PILOT STUDY: Three pilot...
