Abstract

Carrot is a root vegetable present with Carotenoids, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, vitamins, and minerals are all present in that has several nutritional and physiological advantages. The presence of carotenoids, polyphenols, and vitamins in carrots supports the old wives' tale that they are healthy for the eyes as well as acting as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and immune boosters. Carrots have also been shown to offer anti-diabetic, cholesterol and cardiovascular disease reducing, anti-hypertensive, hepatoprotective, renoprotective, and wound healing effects. Even at low extract concentrations, the antioxidant activities were strong, and with time in the order, their activity increased. Amazonia is superior to Kuroda and Pamela. Amazonia was the most famous type since it had the largest amounts of fibre, protein, and carbohydrates and the least amount of moisture. Additionally noteworthy are the antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties of carrot seed extracts. Due to its recognised as a significant source of naturally occurring antioxidants with anticancer potential, the consumption of carrots and the products derived from them continues to increase.
