The various factors contributing to post harvest losses in onions and other bulb crops are briefly outlined in terms of the current storage methods. The present status of research on sprout inhibition by irradiation is reviewed in detail with respect to dose requirements, effect of time interval between harvest and irradiation, and the influence of environment on sprouting during storage. Biochemical mechanisms of sprout inhibition, metabolic and compositional changes (particularly sugars, anthocyanins, flavor and lachrymatory principles), and the culinary and processing qualities of irradiated onions are discussed. The future prospects for the commercial irradiation for sprout inhibition of bulb crops are considered.
根据当前的储存方法，简要概述了导致洋葱和其他球茎作物收获后损失的各种因素。详细回顾了关于辐照抑制发芽的研究现状，涉及剂量要求、收获与辐照之间的时间间隔影响以及储存期间环境对发芽的影响。讨论了抑制发芽的生化机制、代谢和成分变化（特别是糖、花青素、风味和催泪成分）以及辐照洋葱的烹饪和加工品质。还考虑了球茎作物辐照抑制发芽商业化的未来前景。
