Oils, onion, identified by the CAS number 8002-72-0, are complex mixtures primarily derived from the bulb of the onion (Allium cepa). These oils are characterized by their volatile nature, containing a variety of sulfur-containing compounds, which contribute to their distinctive aroma and flavor. The primary components include thiosulfates, sulfides, and other organosulfur compounds, which are responsible for the pungent smell associated with onions. Additionally, onion oils may contain various terpenes, aldehydes, and phenolic compounds, contributing to their chemical diversity. These oils are typically yellow to amber in color and have a characteristic strong odor. They are used in culinary applications for flavoring and are also explored for potential health benefits due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. However, the exact composition can vary based on factors such as onion variety, extraction method, and environmental conditions during growth. As with many essential oils, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain their quality and efficacy.
