A fatty cid fraction separated from yellow onion has been subjected to thin layer chromatographic techniques, UV and IR spectrophotometric analyses. This silicic acid‐chromatographed fraction corresponds to the prostaglandin A 1 fraction. Preliminary identification strongly suggests that this component of onions appears to be a prostaglandin (PGA 1 ) or a prostaglandin‐like compound.
