The element found at the highest amount in onion samples was sulfur, and followed by K, Ca, P, Na, and Mg in decreasing order. While K contents of white onion parts are determined between 1406.31 (outer most edible) and 1758.72 mg/kg (inner most edible), K contents of the parts of brown onions were...
