By comparing the effects of different antimicrobial agents (natamycin, gallic acid, cinnamaldehyde, tea polyphenols, and lavender essential oil), we explored the feasibility of using chitosan as a carrier and its potential applications. Among the treatments, the chitosan-lavender essential oil group demonstrated exceptional performance in reducing insect pests, decreasing from 5.4 % in the control group to 1.82 % after 12 months of storage. The chitosan-natamycin group exhibited the best results across all other metrics, reducing AFB1 content from 60.33 μg/kg to 4.95 μg/kg compared to the control group. Additionally, seed germination improved from 52.33 % to 80.33 %, and the insect pest rate was comparable to that of the chitosan-lavender essential oil group at 1.83 %.

Onion bulbs were cultivated and stored in a temperature- and humidity-controlled system for five months, with evaluations conducted at monthly intervals. The results showed that onion peel lightness (<em>L</em>∗) and hue angle (<em>h</em><sup>o</sup>) were lower in large-sized bulbs compared to small-sized bulbs but peel chroma (<em>C</em>∗) was higher in large-sized bulbs. Onion peel color and hue angles were lower in the extra-large bulb than in the small bulb.

Specifically, quercetin content was 1.52 mg/g DW in small bulbs but only 0.84 mg/g DW in large bulbs, while spiraeoside content decreased from 0.75 mg/g DW to 0.41 mg/g DW.
