Wild carrot (Daucus carota) grows in a wide range of temperate climates around the world, far beyond its native origins Mediterranean and Asia. Furthermore, it can serve as an alternative host source inoculum for variety plant pathogens (Randa-Zelyüt 2022). In province Çanakkale, which is located Southern Marmara region Turkey has intensive agriculture, symptoms including mosaic leaf deformatio...

In a field experiment with a susceptible population of annual wild carrot (Daucus carota) from Iran, artificial inoculations with the fungal pathogen A. dauci led to a strong and very significant increase of the diseased leaf area. The pathogen caused a very significant decrease in fecundity and seed survival of the host. This considerable fitness reduction by A. dauci would suggest that introg...

The effect of onion juice on the whitening fresh-cut carrots during storage was explored to optimize processing technology carrots. Using fresh carrot and as raw materials whiteness value reference index, process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) based single factor experiment, physiological biochemical indexes determined. Results showed that conditions follows: co...

This study was conducted to explore the possibility of utilization of waste residues (pomace) obtained during carrot juice extraction for the preparation of a value added product viz. carrot based condensed milk product (gazrella, an Indian sweetmeat). The carrot pomace was treated osmotically in two ways: Firstly, dipping in 65°Brix sucrose syrup, secondly, by adding 35% sucrose (dry powder) t...

Carrot is a root vegetable with carotenoids, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, vitamins, and minerals, all of which possess numerous nutritional and health benefits. Besides lending truth to the old adage that carrots are good for eyes, carotenoids, polyphenols and vitamins present in carrot act as antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and immunoenhancers. Anti-diabetic, cholesterol and cardiovascular disea...

Carrot is frequently involved in food allergies and oral allergy syndromes, usually in association with other foods. Nevertheless, carrot alone is rarely responsible for severe systemic reactions. We report a case of anaphylactic shock due to the inadvertent ingestion of carrot as a hidden allergen contained in an ice-cream. The etiological role of carrot in provoking the symptoms was thoroughl...

O'Bannon and Taylor reported that carrot disks on 1% agar were suitable for culturing Pratylenchus brachyurus (4). We found that they are suitable also for Pratylenchus vulnus, and easier to prepare than the alfalfa tissue we have used in the past (3). Our observations on carrot disks during the last 3 years may be useful to others. Initially, many of the carrot disks rotted, and a variety of s...

Pectin methylesterase (PME) from carrots (Daucus carrota L.) was extracted and purified by affinity chromatography on a CNBr-Sepharose 4B-PME inhibitor column. A single protein and PME activity peak was obtained. A biochemical characterization in terms of molar mass (MM), isoelectric points (pI), and kinetic parameters of carrot PME was performed. In a second step, the thermal and high-pressure...

  Background: Antioxidants have essential effect on tissue regeneration after cells injury. Enhanced oxidative stress and changes in antioxidant capacity are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic diabetes mellitus. Ginger rhizome and carrot seed are strong antioxidants and long-term treatment of Streptozotocin induced–diabetic animals with these herbs, has been sho...
