This study was performed to determine the anticarcinogenic activities of the Onion Peel(OP) on HepG2, MCF-7, C6 and HeLa cells. The OP extracts from methanol(OPM) were fractionated to five different types, which were hexane, ethylether, ethylacetate, butanol and water. The experiment was conducted to determine cytotoxicity of five different partition layers of methanol extract of OP on HepG2 MCF-7, C6 and HeLa cells by MTT assay. The fraction of OPM, OPMEE and OPMB were showed the strong cytotoxic effects on HepG2, MCF-7 and C6 cell lines. The ethylether fraction of OPM (OPMEE) was shown the strongest cytotoxic effects on the other fractions of OPM. These results suggest that the waste food fractions, OP may have developed into an bioactive health product.
