what happen when lime water is pord on Onion
Answers
Explanation:
Think about what you taste when you eat a lemon. It’s a sour taste that is almost acidic…
Well that’s because it is!
Lemon’s are stuffed full of citric acid, which whilst fairly weak, can really come in handy.
Now it may interest you to know that onions and garlic are remarkably similar. In fact they are both part of the same genus, allium.
What we sense as one smell is usually a concoction of several (sometimes hundreds) of volatile chemicals. In the case of alliums they are mostly sulfur containing.
Now, here’s where I’m not sure. When “disturbed” (i.e. cut or pressed) enzymes are produced which convert chemicals into the aforementioned potent smelling ones.
The acid from lemon juice either a) denatures the acid halting production of the offending smells or b) breaks down the volatile molecules directly. It may well be a bit of both.
