Onions, shallots, and garlic are usually harvested once they are mature when dry, they can store well for many months (seep.271). Leeks, which do not produce a bulb, are grown for their long white, cylindrical shank. They can be left in the ground to harvest in the winter months.

Harvest garlic when the first 4-6 leaves turn yellow. Leave onions and shallots until all the leaves have fallen over naturally. Lift carefully, and leave in a warm, dry place for a couple of weeks. In dry weather, do this outdoors, lifted off the ground on racks or pallets. Otherwise, bring them under cover to finish drying. Bulbs are ready to store when the skins are papery and rustle when handled. Braid into ropes or hang in net sacks in a place where air circulates freely. Ideal storage temperature is 36-39°F (2-4°C).

The dose required to inhibit sprouting of onions, shallots, and garlics is 0.03-0.12 kGy. For good sprout control of tubers such as potatoes and yams, somewhat higher doses, 0.08-0.14 kGy, are required. Because of decreased wound-healing ability after irradiation, doses in excess of 0.15-0.2 kGy may induce increased microbial rot in storage [24].

Shallots Allium ascalonicum) are an allium wherein the bulb laterals separate into individual bulbs. Apparently, shallots do not develop a lachrymatory factor, such as thiopropanal-S-oxide upon maceration [35]. The major aroma constituents in shallots are similar to those found in A.cepa. In raw shallots, the most important aroma compounds appear to be dipropyl disulfide, propyl ( )-prope-nyl disulfide, methyl propyl trisulfide, dimethyl trisulfide and dipropyl trisulfide (Table 7.5, Fig. 7.6) [35, 152, 153].
