Onion ( <i>Allium cepa</i> L.) bioactives: Chemistry, pharmacotherapeutic functions, and industrial applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bioactive compounds possess different health benefits. Onion contains various bioactive compounds, such as organosulfur flavonols, ascorbic acids, and carbohydrate prebiotics, its by-products have more content of flavonoids than the bulb. Diallyl monosulfide, diallyl disulfide, trisulfide, tetrasulfide are major whereas quercetin, kaempferol, anthocyanin, luteolin considered main flavonoids. Ascorbic acid fructooligosaccharides also regarded compounds. strong antioxidant potential for neutralizing oxidative stress cells. These components beneficial anticarcinogenic, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, antidiabetic, cardioprotective agents along with other nutritional However, postharvest practices an impact on these example, curing mostly enhances level processing temperature generally decreases concentration many them, storage studies suggest increase others under optimized conditions. Additionally, conventional extraction techniques showed a negative onion, innovative methods yielded higher amount components. There is need integrated procedures in sector to maintain or enhance without compromising quality onions. The present review comprehensively describes their chemistry, pharmacotherapeutic roles. Moreover, it explores effects factors, temperature, duration, conditions It suggests industrial applications onion waste food sector.
