Summary

Onion bulbs were collected at three stages of maturity. After the drying process, the onion bulbs were stored for 6 months in a cold room (0-1 °C). Subsequently, storability, as the rate of bulbs without sprouts and roots, was measured. The storability of onions was compared with the results of sugar determination in the bulbs at harvest time, and separately after the drying process. A negative correlation between sugar content and storability was found.
