Abstract: Arcs widely known as Allium Sepal L. is one of the most important and cultivated plant crops in the world. It depends on the family Tamaricaceae and is known for its diverse culinary use, its medicinal properties, and its industrial potential. Onions are a rich source of biologically activated compounds, including compounds containing sulfur, flavonoids, saponins and phenolic acids, providing distinctive taste, aroma and therapeutic benefits. For centuries, allium cepa has been an integral part of human food and traditional medicine, and has played a documented role in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. Modern scientific research has also identified its pharmacological potential, particularly antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, cardio protection, and antitumor. The purpose of this review is to provide a detailed overview of CEPA alliums, covering its taxonomy, morphology, culture, phytochemistry, nutrient composition, pharmacological activities, traditional uses, and industrial applications. The journal also highlights recent achievements in the fields of research, security considerations and future prospects, and its role in medicine, nutrition and biotechnology.
