Abstract
Onion is a highly cultivated and consumed vegetable with excellentbeneficial properties for consumer’s health. The phenoliccompounds, and especially flavonols, present in onion bulbs areone of the main responsible for these properties. The presentstudy proposes the development of a new microwave-assistedextraction method for the extraction of the majority flavonolsin onion. Different extraction variables, including solvent composition,pH, temperature and sample-solvent ratio were studiedapplying the Box-Behnken response surface methodology.The percentage of methanol in the extraction solvent and thepH were the most influential variables in the extraction of flavanols(93.8% methanol in water at pH 2). The developed methodpresented high repeatability and intermediate precision (RSD <5%) and an optimal extraction time of only 10 minutes. Finally,the MAE method developed was applied to different varietiesof onion (red, white and yellow).
