- Onions, Allium cepa L., Cepa
group, is a biennial of the Alliaceae family. The edible portions of the
bulb are the enlarged leaf bases and compact stem.
- Onion is a cool season biennial
that is tolerant of frost.
- Onion, being high in water
content, is a delicate commodity to store and requires special
procedure
and parameters, giving rise to the concept of Onion cold
storage.
- Onions intended for storage should
be dried well and cured in the field, under sheds, or in
storage.
- Bunched green onions can be stored
3 to 4 weeks at 0 °C (32 °F) with 95 to 98% RH. Under these conditions,
bunched onions stored in polyethylene-lined containers and top-iced
maintain excellent quality for 1 mo.
- Storage-life decreases to 1 week
if the temperature is 5 °C (41 °F), and rapid yellowing and decay of
leaves occurs at higher temperatures.
- Drying is complete when the onion
neck is tight, outer scales are dry and make a rustling noise when
touched, and the skin color is uniform.
- In handling onions it is a good
idea to pass them over a screen to catch any of the loose skins and to
remove any of the soft, decaying bulbs.
- Another good option for storing
onions is to tie them up in bunches and store them by hanging them
upside down in a cool, dry place.
- It is suggested here that along
with cold chain facilities it is required to maintain the quality due to
high ambient temperature prevalent in our country.
- China dominates the world in onion
production with an annual contribution of around 32% to the world
production. India’s contribution was around 10% to the world production
and is the second largest producer in the world.
- India mainly exports onions to
South East Asian countries, Middle East-Gulf countries and CIS
countries.
