We conducted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements on hot-water extracts of peel from different varieties of Allium cepa. Some quercetin glycosides were identified as potentialα-glucosidase inhibitors by principal component analysis of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry data. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity assays identified quercetin-4'-O-glucoside as an α-glucosidase inhibitor.
