## Abstract Onion flavour develops when the cells are disrupted, allowing the enzyme alliinase (EC 4.4.1.4) to act upon the aroma precursors __S__βalk(en)ylβLβcysteine sulphoxides (ACSOs). For maximum flavour release, optimal cell disintegration and complete enzymatic conversion of ACSOs are desire
## Abstract Large losses of onion flavour components result from certain postβharvest processes such as cooking by boiling, dehydration, freezing etc. The mechanisms by which these losses occur have been investigated on the basis of the alliinaseβprecursor system and shown to include: (a) complete
