Other compounds such as pyrrolidine (present in the leaves), [35] 6-hydroxymellein, [36] 6-methoxymellein, eugenin, 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde ( gazarin) or (Z)-3-acetoxy-heptadeca-1,9-diene-4,6-diin-8-ol ( falcarindiol 3-acetate) can also be found in carrot.

A study on the effects of blanching and pre-drying treatments on the stability in carotenoids and anthocyanins rich fruits has revealed that with the increase in blanching temperature and time both of these pigments decreased while pre-drying treatments like, pre-treatment with sodium metabisulphite prevented carotenoids oxidation while orthophosphoric acid showed no effect on their oxidation. lakh tons (Thamburaj and Singh 2005) with Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana being the major producing States. Carrots are grown from seed and can take up to four months (120 days) to mature, but most cultivars mature within 70 to 80 days under the right conditions. A large, primary umbel can contain up to 50 umbellets, each of which may have as many as 50 flowers; subsequent umbels have fewer flowers. This myth was propaganda used by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War to explain why British pilots had improved night vision which enabled their success during nighttime air battles; in reality, it was thanks to newly adopted radar technology.Extraction, canning and storage of carrot juice have been described in detail by various workers (Stephens et al. In vitro studies indicated phytonutrients such as carotenoids and phenolics may play a significant role, in addition to vitamin in protecting biological systems from the effects of oxidative stress (Kalt 2005). Modern carrots were described at about this time by the English antiquary John Aubrey (1626–1697): "Carrots were first sown at Beckington in Somersetshire. The present review highlights the nutritional composition, health promoting phytonutrients, functional properties, products development and by-products utilization of carrot and carrot pomace along with their potential application. The total carotenoids content in the edible portion of carrot roots range from 6,000 to 54,800μg/100g (Simon and Wolff 1987).

Carrot juice and blends thereof are among the most popular non-alcoholic beverages and steady increase in carrot juice consumption has been reported from various countries (Schieber et al. Although a completely xylem-free carrot is not possible, some cultivars have small and deeply pigmented cores; the taproot can appear to lack a core when the colour of the cortex and core are similar in intensity. Due to low yields associated with carrot juice production, industry is using new technologies for extracting juice such as depolymerizing enzymes, mash heating and decanter technology.Antimutagenic effect of fruit and vegetable aqueous extracts against N-nitrosamine evaluated by the Ames test.

Carrot (Daucus carota L) is one of the popular root vegetables grown throughout the world and is the most important source of dietary carotenoids in Western countries including the United States of America (Block 1994; Torronen et al. The importance of carotenoids in food goes beyond as natural pigments and biological functions and actions have increasingly been attributed to these pigments. Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C, E, K, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium are all available in carrot powder. They cannot be absorbed by the body and therefore, have no calorific value however, the health benefits of eating fiber rich diet are immense including prevention of constipation, regulation of blood sugar, protection against heart diseases, reducing high levels of and prevention of certain forms of cancers.During storage, carrots may be subject to the development of bitterness, white blush, and browning, leading to carrot losses. The major anthocyanins have been identified as cyanidin 3- (2-xylosylgalactoside), cyanidin 3-xylosylglucosylgalactoside and cyanidin 3-ferulylxyloglucosyl galactoside (Harborne 1976). Its wild ancestors probably originated in Persia (regions of which are now Iran and Afghanistan), which remains the centre of diversity for the wild carrot Daucus carota. Cultivated carrots appeared in China in the 12th century, [23] and in Japan in the 16th or 17th century. Carotene degradation in carrot is comparatively less in vacuum drying and low super heated steam drying as compared to conventional air drying (Suvarnakuta et al.
