Spice Rub
Spice rub is any mixture of ground spices that is made to be rubbed on raw food before the food is cooked. The spice rub forms a coating on the food.

The spice rub can be left on or partially removed before cooking. Rubs are typically applied as a powder, aka "dry". Some "wet" rubs may have oil, water, or other liquid added to make a thick paste.

Spices
In the culinary arts, a spice is any seed, fruit, root, Bark (botany), bark, or other plant substance in a form primarily used for flavoring or coloring food. Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are the leaves, flowers, or stems of plants used for flavoring or as a garnish (food), garnish. Spices and seasoning do not mean the same thing, but spices fall under the seasoning category with herbs. Spices are sometimes used in medicine, Sacred rite, religious rituals, cosmetics, or perfume production. They are usually classified into spices, spice seeds, and herbal categories.

Syn-Propanethial-S-oxide
''syn''-Propanethial ''S''-oxide (or (''Z'')-propanethial ''S''-oxide), a member of a class of organosulfur compounds known as thiocarbonyl S-oxide, ''S''-oxides (formerly "sulfines"), is a volatile liquid that acts as a lachrymatory agent (triggers tearing and stinging on contact with the eyes). Onion release The chemical is released from onions, ''Allium cepa'', as they are sliced. The release is due to the breaking open of the onion cells, which releases enzymes called alliinases. Alliinases then break down amino acid sulfoxides, generating sulfenic acids. A specific sulfenic acid, allicin or 1-propenesulfenic acid, is rapidly rearranged by another enzyme, the lachrymatory factor synthase (LFS) to give ''syn''-propanethial ''S''-oxide. Vapors from this volatile liquid induces tearing. Related compounds A structurally related lachrymatory compound, ''syn''-butanethial ''S''-oxide, C4H8OS, has been found in another genus ''Allium'' plant, ''Allium siculum''. Propanethial S ...

Garlic Powder
Garlic powder is a spice that is derived from dehydrated garlic and used in cooking for flavor enhancement. The process of making garlic powder includes drying and dehydrating the vegetable, then powdering it through machinery or home-based appliances depending on the scale of production. Garlic powder is a common component of spice mix. It is also a common component of seasoned salt. Production Cultivation There are two types of garlic species: Softneck (''Allium sativum sativum'') and Hardneck (''Allium sativum ophioscorodon''). Hardneck garlic varieties are believed to have more flavour than Softneck garlics, characterized by a spicy and more complex taste than other garlic strands. While Hardneck Garlics flourish in cold weather, due to their extensive time of vernalization, Softnecks seemingly grow better in warmer climates. Distinguishing between a Hardneck and Softneck garlic is done through the presence of a scape (flower stalk). The garlic species most commonly ...
