To improve freshness of onion(Allium cepa), it was packed with various packaging films and stored at 5$^{circ}C$ until 52 days. During the storage, internal gas composition, weight loss, spout ratio, decay ratio, surface color were determined. The used packaging films are two-perforated LDPE (control), LDPE, CPP/OPP/PE, Nylon/PE and Ag-zirconium filled LDPE. Onions were prepared by peeling or dipping in GFSE(grape fruit seed extract) and packed under vacuum or atmosphere with the selective films. Anaerobic condition was shown in the Nylon/PE package after 4 days and, thus weight loss, sprout ratio and color were considerably poor. All onions in the vacuum package after 15 days were spouted. Onions in CPP/OPP/PE and functional film(Ag-zirconium filled LDPE) package showed aerobic respiration until 52 days. Thus, the quality of onions in these packages was superior to the control.
