[Paraffin treatment of garlic for long-term preservation].
The optimal conditions have been developed for garlic preservation by its treatment with a mixture of food paraffin and monoglyceride in the ratio of 95:5 at 80 degrees C, followed by the storage at 0-1 degrees C, and relative humidity 65-75%. When garlic is treated with plasticized paraffin, the main hydrocarbon components of paraffin - n-alkanes C20-C31 are accumulated in its pulp. Monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are practically absent in food paraffin and paraffined garlic. The quantitative parameters of the paraffined garlic characterizing high technological and economic effectiveness of the method, as well as insignificant increase in the p-alkanes content (1%) in the daily ration for humans, that contains paraffined garlic, have permitted the authors to recommend this method of garlic storage for using under industrial conditions, the technological regulations should be strictly kept to.
