Title: Garlic oil extraction
Post by: rawgarlic on April 15, 2020, 10:01:01 AM

Hello there!

I want to extract and concentrate all of the substances present in garlic and make a kind of oil from it, anyone has some idea on how to do that?

I understand that there are some volatile compounds in garlic.

Thanks!

Is the present situation so desperate that we revert to garlic and holy water?

Sorry for that.

i would try extracting with some sort of solvent like ethanol or isopropanol first then filter and evaporate, should be left with some sort of extract

Its a bit complicated because some if the components are not stable over time. It is probably good to read this first;
