Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(What makes one's eye burning / watery while peeling onions?),it will help you,my kids.
Answers:
When you slice through an onion, you break open a number of onion cells. Some of these cells have enzymes inside of them, and when they are sliced open, the enzymes escape. The enzymes then decompose some of the other substances that have escaped from sliced cells. Some of these substances, amino acid sulfoxides, form sulfenic acids, which then quickly rearrange themselves into a volatile gas..Peeling the onion and then chilling it in the refrigerator before you slice it will minimize the release of gas somewhat, because the change in temperature alters the compounds in the onion. Cooking an onion before you slice it will work also, for the same reason. Another easy solution is to cut the onion under water or run the tap over it as you slice. that's how i cut it under water and i never cry
Other Answers:
I am not sure what make it.. btu I know if you put the onions in warm water for a minute or two before peeling your eyes wont tear up nore burn
the chemicals in the onion
I heard chewing gum while cutting onion will make the tears go away
onions are acidic, and the acid is realeased as you cut them upand it rises up and irritates your mucus membranes (eyes, nose and throat) and causes a reaction to create more mucus, tears, etc to wash it away
onions have this miniature particles that are getting into our eyes as we peel themm...storing them in the ref helps...others swear by putting salt besides it while you peel
the chemical released by onions while u chop them irritates a gland when u breathe through your nose, tears are just the body's way of getting rid of nething irritable. try breathing through your mouth while chopping onions, u won't get a single tear.
There is a chemical in there that is released in the onion juice. You can prevent the burning, by placing the onion in the freezer for about 10 min before cutting.
There a particular substance that makes one's eyes while peeling and cutting onions. SO as to prevent from having teary eyes, bite a slice of bread while peeling and cutting the onions. Just bite. Don't chew. Don't eat.
there is acid in onion
