Abstract
To use onion(Allium cepa L.) residue as raw materials of food product, yields of onion-juice according to various extracting methods and optimal extracting condition of quercetin and its related glycosides were carried out. Onion juices gained by the methods of pressing, rotary crushing, freeze pressing and enzyme treatment. The yield by the method of enzyme treatment was higher than others. The yields of juice from fresh onion and heat-treated onion(8$0^{\circ}C$/10min) by pressing were 66% and 83%, respectively. Ethanol extraction of onion was efficient at 75$^{\circ}C$ and acetic acid extraction was proper at 3% concentration for 3 hours at 11$0^{\circ}C$. The onion extract was fractionated in the order of hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate and butanol to test flavonoids. The highest abundant flavonoids were found in ethylacetate and butanol fraction.
