| Summary: | Early Lokyer White onions were stored at temperature of 0°C and 20°C at 60% relative humidity (RH). This study shows that storage temperature of 0°C for 6 months prevented sprouting, rotting, and minimized weight loss of onions. Moisture content of onions stored at 0°C and 20°C were fluctuated, however, at the end of storage it tended to decrease. Ascorbic acid of onions stored at 0°C was relatively stable while that of onions stored at 20°C decreased significantly (p < 0,05) with storage time. Pyruvic acid of onions stored at 20°C was significantly higher than those stored at 0°C, and it increased with time up to 8 weeks then decreased.
