The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) processing on the volatile compounds produced in onion cultivars. The changes in the volatile compounds of onions were assessed comparing results observed while measured immediately and 24 h after PEF treatment using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). Significant increases in the concentrations of propanethial S-oxide, propenyl propyl thiosulfinate, 2-methyl-2-pentenal, dipropyl disulfide, propenyl propyl disulfide, methyl propyl disulfide, and methyl propenyl disulfide were observed immediately after PEF treatment. The concentrations of propenyl propyl thiosulfinate, dipropyl disulfide, methyl propyl disulfide, dipropyl trisulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, and propenyl propyl trisulfide increased after 24 h compared to initial concentrations. It is postulated that these changes are due to PEF-induced cell permeabilisation that facilitates enzyme-substrate reactions after the PEF treatment.

This study developed a "one-pot" three-stage process using a "multifunctional" deep eutectic solvent (DES) containing choline chloride (ChCl), ethylene glycol (EG), and protonic acids for the production of phenolic monomers, furfural, and glucose. In the first stage, the DES effectively dissolved over 70 % of lignin and 78 % of hemicellulose while preserving aryl ether bonds in lignin due to the grafting of EG onto the aryl ether bonds. Concurrently, the retention of a near-quantitative amount of cellulose led to a glucose yield of >80 % after enzymatic saccharification.

Onion ( L.) and its newly derived product "black onion" are characterised by the presence of compounds with potential bioactivity, particularly organosulfur compounds (OSCs). However, little is known about the metabolism, distribution, and excretion of these compounds as they pass through the gastrointestinal tract.

Lignin is the dominant aromatic renewable polymer on earth. Generally, its complex and heterogeneous structure hinders its high-value utilization. Catechyl lignin (C-lignin), a novel lignin discovered in the seed coats of vanilla and several members of Cactaceae, has received increasing attention due to its unique homogeneous linear structure.

Plants of the genus Allium such as chives, onions or garlic produce S-alk(en)yl cysteine sulfoxides as flavor precursors. Two major representatives are S-propenyl cysteine sulfoxide (isoalliin) and S-propyl cysteine sulfoxide (propiin), which only differ by a double bond in the C side chain. The propenyl group of isoalliin is derived from the amino acid valine, but the source of the propyl group of propiin remains unclear.
