The health benefits and nutritional characteristics of vegetables depend on the type of processing techniques employed. Minimally-processed vegetables are a rapidly expanding segment of the fresh food industry due to convenience and increased demand by the consumers (Du et al., 2012 and Pérez-Gregorio et al., 2011). Although a variety of vegetables are available in the fresh-cut form, individually or as mixed-vegetable trays, fresh-cut market for onions has not been exploited to-date. There is great potential for the development of fresh-cut onion market since this vegetable is not very convenient to cut and prepare due to its pungency and tearing effect. Availability of onion in ready-to-eat or use form can contribute to its increased consumption and expansion of this market segment (Du et al., 2012).
