Traditional and modern uses of onion bulb (Allium cepa L.): a systematic review
Scopus
Toplam 222 atıf DOI
Onion, (Allium cepa L.), is one of the most consumed and grown vegetable crops in the world. Onion bulb, with its characteristic flavor, is the third most essential horticultural spice with a substantial commercial value. Apart from its culinary virtues, A. cepa is also used traditionally for its medicinal virtues in a plethora of indigenous cultures. Several publications have been produced in an endeavor to validate such traditional claims. Nonetheless, there is still a dearth of up-to-date, detailed compilation, and critical analysis of the traditional and ethnopharmacological propensities of A. cepa. Thepresent review, therefore, aims to systematically review published literature on the traditional uses, pharmacological properties, and phytochemical composition of A. cepa. A. cepa was found to possess a panoply of bioactive compounds and numerous pharmacological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic, anti-hypertensive, and immunoprotective effects. Although a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies have been conducted, several limitations and research gaps have been identified which need to be addressed in future studies.

Nutrient availability plays a crucial role in plant metabolism, but its tissue-specific effects in onions (Allium cepa L.) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the hierarchical effects of reduced nutrient supply on the metabolic profile of onion tissues, i.e., leaves, roots, and bulbs, using a multivariate metabolomics approach. Onion cultures were established in a hydroponic system, treated with Hoagland's solutions at 100 % as the control (C), and diluted solutions at 12.5 % (H12), 25 % (H25), and 50 % (H50). The metabolic signatures of onions subjected to nutrient depletion were reported by a metabolomics approach based on ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/QTOF-MS). Among the treatments, H25 notably enhanced antioxidant capacity and enzyme inhibitory activities linked to neuroprotective and antidiabetic potential, particularly in bulbs. This study provides insights into optimizing nutrient management for enhanced crop quality and functionality, providing deeper insights into tissue-specific metabolic differences and the mechanisms underlying metabolite accumulation, whether through increased biosynthesis or translocation between tissues.
