Description
Shallots (Allium ascalonicum) are members of the allium family,
closely related to onions, garlic, and leeks. Whether diced,
minced, or sliced, onions are used to flavor dishes. Shallots
contain vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and folic acid. In addition,
onions also contain calcium and iron. Shallots also contain natural
growth regulators in the form of the hormones auxin and
gibberellins. Another use of onion is as a traditional medicine,
onion is known as a medicine because it contains antiseptic effects
and alliin compounds. The alliin compound by the alliins enzyme is
then converted into pyruvic acid, ammonia, and allicin as
anti-microbial which is bactericidal. The compound
sin-propanetriol-S-oxide (syn-propanetriol-S-oxide) which is formed
when red onion tissue is sliced ​​causes the human eye to shed
tears. Its formation is triggered by the release of the enzyme
lachrymatory-factor synthase when plant tissue is injured. This
enzyme will convert sulfoxide amino acids (containing sulfur
oxides) into unstable sulfonic acid. One of the compounds formed
from sulfonic acid is sin-propanetriol-S-oxide, which then spreads
into the air.
