Compounds in italics are those not confirmed by all means of identification and therefore considered as tentatively identified. Asterisks indicate differences between peak area values of onion preparations with a significance according to one-way analysis of variance *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001. NS indicates no differences between peak area values of onion preparations according to one-way analysis of variance. Different letters (a, b, c) between columns indicate significant differences in the peak area values of onion preparations according to least significant difference test (p ≤ 0.05)
