Original Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of fragrances in onions treated with plasma before planting. The treatment was carried out to see if it would improve onion growth while maintaining or increasing the fragrance content. The experimental part was carried out over a period of three years at 22 sites. The procedures for treating bulbs before planting with corona discharge and plasma-activated water are described. In total, four treatment variants were carried out and bulbs from the fifth variant were left untreated. Saturated vapors of liquid samples were analyzed by proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS). Thanks to this analysis, the concentrations of volatile substances were determined. Some samples were analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometer as a detector to identify the compounds. From the results obtained, it is evident that plasma treatment can be useful for the treatment of onions in agriculture, because it provided harvest increase without decrease of fragrances concentrations.
