Variation in Content of Carotenoids and Vitamin C in Carrots
Original language description
Carrots are the most popular and wide spread of all root vegetables, and are the principal source of carotenoids in human diet. The purpose of this study was to examine differences between cultivars and the effect of storage regarding the carotenoid andvitamin C content in carrots. Six carrots cultivars were used in this study, ranging from early to late ones. Observed carotenoid contentranged from 60 mg /kg to 134 mg/kg. Significantly higher levels of carotenoids were found in late and moderately latecultivars in comparison to early ones. Vitamin C content in these cultivars ranged from 54 mg/kg to 132 mg/kg. Significantly higher content of vitamin C were also found in the latte cultivars. 30-day storage resulted in a significant reductiionin vitamiin C content, on average of 47%. There was also a reduction in the carotenoids content, but to a lesser extent, on average of 11%.
