Chinese researchers are using allicin, a garlic extract that can kill mold, to preserve cultural relics. For example, researchers have developed a slow-release allicin product that looks like chewing gum and can be fixed to almost any surface. The active components attached to the colloid can spread spontaneously into the air, thus protecting the entire environment from mold. An allicin spray is also being used for the moving and protection of cultural relics such as ivory. #TheVibe #Heritage |
