Impact of steaming pretreatment processes on physical properties, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities, of black garlics (Allium sativum L.) was studied. Steaming pretreatment at different times (0, 4 and 6 min) was conducted before incubating in 60 °C-incubator at different incubation times (0, 9 and 18 days). Different steaming pretreatment processes affected the color and hardness of black garlic differently, while total polyphenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were also determined by the steaming pretreatment time used. TPC and TFC increased with increasing of incubating time, where the highest those bioactive compounds was observed from 18-day incubation, especially with 4 min of steaming pretreatment (p ≤ 0.05). Increase of those bioactive compounds was in accordance with increasing of DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of black garlic during incubation. In addition, black garlic obtained from 18-day incubation with steaming pretreated for 4 min revealed the optimum condition providing the black garlic with high in both DPPH and FRAP, compared with others (p ≤ 0.05). Therefore, steaming pretreatment could effectively improve the efficiency of black garlic production process by increase the generation rate of bioactive compounds as well as induce antioxidant properties of black garlic with shorten process time.
