∙ 14y agoYes. When you chill an onion, it cancels some of the enzymes that form gas [that will eventually go to your eyes and make you cry]. This will result in either less tears or no tearing/crying at all :] i did this for my science project just so you know ;)

∙ 15y agoChilling or refrigerating the onion will cool the fumes that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes, or you could try my preferred method which is to is to peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap, or try and old wives tale by holding a tea spoon between your teeth.

How can you prevent from crying while cutting an onion?

I tried it and it actually worked.Another method is to cut the onion under water.when cutting onions place your cut pieces into cold water to maintain the tear gases.When you peel your onion dip it in cold water before cutting and continue to dunk it periodically as you cut to keep those tear gases to a minimumonion is also good for those burned rice situations-- just cut an onion in half and put it into the pot of burned rice to eliminate that burned rice odor-- This may not always work with the taste of burned rice but at least you can somewhat control the odor.
Can chewing gum prevent you from crying when cutting onions?
When cutting onions, cells are broken, releasing certain substances that are modified and then reach the eyes through diffusion, where they cause irritation on contact. To prevent the eyes from watering, you have to prevent the gas from reaching them - for example by cutting the onion underwater. Chewing gum might help a little if you chew with your mouth open and also breathe through your mouth. You will simply disturb the gas's diffusion this way.
Would wearing goggles prevent you from crying when cutting an onion?
Yes it would. The volatile oils in the membrane between layers of onion make your eyes water, provided the onion is sufficiently warm; if the onion is cold the vapours won't be released during cutting. For this reason, onions should be kept in the refrigerator; store them in a plastic bag, twisted to keep out the air. You can put them in several layers of plastic bags, or in a tightly-sealed plastic container so that they don't cause your refrigerator to smell of onions.
Why man gets tears while cutting onions?
Because the gas evolved from the cutted onions, named syn-propanethial-S-oxide, is irritating for the eyes.

Why chilling of onoin avoid crying of eyes?
The reason onions irritate your eyes is because they are acid in their juice. Anything that prevents the acid fumes from reaching your eyes will help to avoid crying. Chilling the onion keeps the acid fumes from being quite so active when the onion is cut. It won't stop the fumes altogether, but it helps. A trick that works consistently for me is to make sure you have a breeze blowing across your work are while you cut your onions. A small fan or perhaps the ventilation fan on your stove might work.
