Why is the onion odor difficult to remove from the mouth?

Overcoming bad breath from certain foods is usually enough to brush your teeth or rinse with mouthwash. However, it is not so if the cause of your bad breath is onion, especially onion, onion, or raw garlic. Often, brushing your teeth will not repel the onion scent from your breath.

Why is the onion odor difficult to remove from the mouth?

Garlic and other members of the allium family of plants (onions, onions, onions) produce cysteine ​​sulfoxides which give different flavors and smells. The sulfate compound is very similar to a compound produced by anaerobic bacteria that causes bad breath. The compound that causes onion-smelling breath is allyl methyl sulfide (AMS). AMS is a gas that is absorbed into the blood during the processing of onions in the body. From the blood, the gas is then transferred to the lungs where it is then exhaled.

Some of these AMSs are even removed from the pores of the skin. This is why garlic breath is very difficult to get rid of. No matter how much you clean and brush your mouth, the smell of onions will still be in the air as you exhale from the lungs.
