The allicin contained in garlic is able to break down mercapturic acid compounds when it comes into contact with mold, which easily binds to the proteins found in the mold and kills them. That's why it is now used to remove mold from cultural relics. Chinese chemists have determined the chemical formula of allicin through repeated tests and studies and synthesized allicin through chemical processes.
