Abstract

This review focused on research about the development of machine and technology application utilizing the characteristics of garlic. In the garlic industry, the properties of garlic are mainly used for geometric properties, mechanical properties, physicochemical properties, and biological properties. When developing a machine, the design is made by determining the machine's specifications through the geometric characteristics of garlic. The mechanical part where the impact is generated by contact with garlic is designed by utilizing the mechanical properties of garlic, and at this time, it is designed so that the impact can occur within the allowable stress range of garlic. Among geometrical properties, density is used as a relative factor in thermal and electrical energy analysis and mass transfer analysis. In particular, it is used for drying characteristics analysis. The physicochemical properties of garlic are important factors that determine the quality, and by controlling them, the competitiveness of the garlic industry can be secured. Physicochemical properties act on the human body to bring biological benefits, and can be classified as medicines beyond food.
