“…The antioxidant constituents of onion seeds have een shown to be impacted by cultivating time and density [27], as well as the suitability and bioavailability of antioxidant activity and total phenolics of the floral shoot of the second-year onion resprout [28]. TPC (total phenolic content), TFC (total flavonoid content), and antioxidant capacity of the fresh-cut onions increased upon storage when they were washed with a blend of citric acid and nisin, in addition to onion sprouting [29]. The influence of the manufacturing of food on the antioxidant capability of onions was also explored, such as freezing, drying, sautéing, heating, and high-pressure processing [30].…”

The majority of the by products formed during onion processing remain unutilized, yet they are rich in bioactive compounds and phytochemicals. Onions are a very valuable vegetable. Onion chemical compounds are incredibly diverse, and they work through a variety of pharmacological mechanisms to prevent disease. Although the mechanism of the action of the chemicals found in onions has been studied, there is still room for further reformulating of nutrient supplements and pharmaceutical treatments thanks to a growing interest in sustainable resource utilisation and circular economy. This review focuses on the primary bioactive components found in onion peel and skin, particularly total phenolics, quercetin, total flavonoids, and their derivatives, as well as their therapeutic uses such as cardioprotective, anticancer, neuroprotective, antiobesity, antidiabetic, and antibacterial constituents. This review article noted that onion peel is a valuable agricultural byproduct that has a variety of biologically active compounds so it can be used as a health-regulating ingredient, particularly in the biomedical and pharmacological domains.
