| |
|
 An
annual or biennial herb, with an erect, much-branched stem, arising
from a thick, fleshy taproot.
Carrot is valued as food mainly because it is a rich source of
the fat-soluble hydrocarbon, C40H56, the ß form of which is
the precursor of vitamin A. Carrots contain a variety of carotenoids
that are responsible for the typical colors of the root. The main
pigments of orange carrot are a- and ß-carotene. The seed
oil has a sweet anise like odor and the main components identified
were ß-bisabolene, Cis and trans -asarene, asarone aldehyde
and phenolic compounds such as eugenol 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyacetophenone
and vanillin.
Carrot seeds are aromatic, stimulant and carminative. They are
reported to be useful in diseases of the kidney and in dropsy. The
seeds are reported to exhibit anti-fertility activity. The ethanolic
extracts of seeds showed diuretic activity. The essential oil from
leaves and seeds showed antifungal activity, used as a sunscreen
and fragrance component in soaps, creams and lotions. The aqueous
extract of carrot showed hepatoprotective activity.
Used in Lip Balm.
