Extension Information:

Low temperature is the condition for breaking the dormancy of garlic, activating alliinase, and causing green change. In the pigment formation process, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase is essential. The formation of green pigment in "Laba Garlic" is similar to the red color of onions. When allyl and propylene sulfide exist at the same time, green coloration occurs. In the presence of propylene sulfide, there is no allyl sulfide oxidation. When the material is removed, redness occurs.

Alliinase plays a catalytic role in the green change of garlic. The acetic acid in pickled "Laba garlic" increases the permeability of the cell membrane, causing the garlic to turn green without damaging the cell wall.

According to the old man, the word "garlic" in Laba garlic has the same pronunciation as the word "suan". This means that each business will collect accounts on Laba day and calculate the income and expenditure for this year. It can be seen that Profit and loss, including foreign debts and foreign debts, must be calculated clearly on this day. This is what "Laba Calculation" means. On Laba day, a creditor who wants to pay a debt has to deliver a message to someone who owes him money, so he should be prepared to pay back the money.

There is a folk proverb in Beijing: "Laba rice porridge and Laba garlic are used to deliver letters to those who settle accounts, and to pay back debts." Later, some people who owed money to others used garlic instead of the word "calculate" to express taboo. , avoiding the word "settling" in this settlement of accounts. In fact, what you owe others must be paid back after all.
