The purpose of this research is to determine the growth of guava cuttings (Syzygium equaeum) by administering a chemical and natural growth regulator from onion extract (Allium cepa L). This study uses Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 2 treatment factors and 3 replications. The first treatment is the utilization of chemical growth regulators, which consist of C0: no chemical growth regulator, C1: 20 ml chemical growth regulator / 1 liter of water) / cuttings; C2: 20 ml chemical growth regulator / 2 liters of water) / cuttings. The second treatment is the application of natural growth regulators onion extract, which consist of A0: no onion extract, A1: 20 ml onion extract /1 liter of water / cuttings, A2: 30 ml onion extract / 2 liters of water) / cuttings. The highest growth results of cuttings are in C0A1, C0A2 and C2A2, because of auxin and gibberellin hormone in C0A1 and C0A2 where the auxin lengthen the stem and roots, and the gibberellins support the leaf growth, and elongation of shoots and roots.

Fermented onion is a type of onion that produced by heating onion bulbs at high temperature for 15 days by fermenter machine. This research is expected to produce new alternatives therapy for reducing cholesterol from onions especially Allium cepa L. var cepa. In this experimental laboratory used 25 male white rats that divided into five groups, group I: negatif control, group II: positif control (Atorvastatin), group III: 100 mg/Kg body weight (bw) of fermented onion extact, group IV: 200 mg/Kg bw of fermented onion extract and group V: 300 mg/Kg bw of fermented onion extract. The Rats was feeding by an atherogenic diet to makes them hypercholesterolemia before treatment for 7th days, 14th days and 21st days. All of data were analyzed by ANOVA method (significant 0,05). The result concludes that of all the doses tested, fermented onion extract of Allium cepa L. var cepa with a dose of 200 mg/Kg bw has the highest effect in decreasing total cholesterol levels of hypercholesterolemia rats (Rattus novergicus).

Antibiotics resistance is currently one of the major challenges in the health care system. The antimicrobial properties of some herbs have been used in the treatment of infectious diseases as well as disinfection of surfaces. This in a way helps overcome microbial resistance arising from indiscriminate use of synthetic antimicrobial agents for similar purpose. Some antibiotic resistant bacteria- Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococus aureus and Escherichia coli isolated from cooking wares in homes were investigated using agar well diffusion and agar dilution method to test for the antibacterial activity of fresh Allium cepa (onion) extract. All were susceptible to the fresh white and red onion extract except Staphylococus aureus which was susceptible to only the white onion extract. The diameter of zones of inhibition ranged from 2 mm-35 mm. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (M. I. C.) and the Minimum Bacterial Concentration (M. B. C.) values of the fresh onion juices against the test bacteria were low ranging from 3.125% v/v – 25.0% v/v. This study indicates that the fresh raw extracts of Allium cepa possess significant antibacterial potency against these antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Red onion (Allium cepa) is commonly used in human diet, representing an important source of flavonoids, with argued therapeutic values in humans. In animals, the tolerance to onion varies according to species and the quantity intake, carnivores being the most sensitive. The experiment aims to identify the negative potential effects in mice after the aqueous red onion extract consumption over 56 days. Similar to some long-term studies performed on other species using aqueous or alcoholic red onion extracts, for the mice of the experimental batch were registered the hepatic and renal disturbances, paraclinically and microscopically registered, which might limit the testing of the effects of the extracts from red onion on mice.

This study aimed to determine the influence of onion extract cream (Allium cepa) for burning burns in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research was experimental with a concentration of 45%, 50%, and 55% onion Cream Extract (Allium cepa). The Data can then be processed using the Kruskall Wallis test. From the statistical test results, each  level of Bakart wound showed noticeable difference. The  P < 0.05 is thus distinct from  P1, P2, and P3. At the level of fluid burns Sig 0.000, because (P < 0.05) There were noticeable difference in the treatment of PO with P1, P2, and P3. The conclusion of this study of the introduction of onion extract Cream (Allium cepa.) can be used for wound healing in white rats (Rattus norvegicus).
