Abstract
Short-day (SD) and long-day (LD) cultivars of onion (Allium cepa L.) representing various storage and flavor characteristics were greenhouse-grown to maturity. Bulbs were harvested and cured, then stored at 4C and evaluated monthly for pyruvic acid concentration (EPY), soluble solids content (SCC), and weight loss (WL). The EPY of `Dehydrator #3' (SD) decreased linearly with storage while EPY of `Granex 33' (SD) increased linearly. The EPY of `Zenith' (LD) had a quadratic response, decreasing then increasing during storage, while EPY of `Sweet Sandwich' (LD) increased then decreased quadratically during storage. Cultivar SSC generally decreased, while WL increased during storage.
