Onion Extract is derived from the bulbs of the Allium cepa plant, commonly known as the onion. Onions are widely cultivated and used for their culinary and medicinal properties. Onion extract is typically obtained through processes such as hot water extraction, ethanol extraction, or other solvent-based methods. It is available in various forms, including powders, liquids, and capsules. The extract is rich in flavonoids (such as quercetin), sulfur compounds (such as allicin), and polyphenols, which contribute to its health benefits and distinctive flavor.
