Effect of high-intensity pulsed electric fields processing and conventional heat treatment on orange-carrot juice carotenoids.
2005
Liquid chromatography (LC) was the method of choice for quantification of carotenoids (including geometrical isomers) to evaluate the effects of high-intensity pulsed electric field (HIPEF), a nonthermal preservation method, with different parameters (electric field intensities and treatment times), on an orange−carrot juice mixture (80:20, v/v). In parallel, a conventional heat treatment (98 °C, 21 s) was applied to the juice. HIPEF processing generally caused a significant increase in the concentrations of the carotenoids identified as treatment time increased. HIPEF treatment at 25 and 30 kV/cm provided a vitamin A concentration higher than that found in the pasteurized juice. Keywords: …
Carrot [Daucus carota L.] allelochemicals as a chemomediators between organisms
2004
The chemical mediations which affect carrot (Daucus carota L.) growth in the context of the ecological interactions of this common vegetable with microorganisms, insects and competing plants are reported. Literature data and results of these study confirm, that carrot plants are well equipped with defensive and offensive chemical mechanisms, which allow them to avoid or to decrease the negative influence of competitors and pathogens. What is worthy of note the chemicals involved in these processes might be treated as the leading structures to design for new environmental friendly pesticides.
Substancje allelopatycznie aktywne jako potencjalne biopestycydy
2006
Zaprezentowano rośliny marchwi jako źródło substancji wykazujących aktywność allelopatyczną. Przedstawiono sposoby efektywnej izolacji poszczególnych allelozwiązków z nasion marchwi oraz zakres ich aktywności biologicznej. Rezultaty badań wskazują na to, że zarówno olejek eteryczny jak i wodny ekstrakt z nasion marchwi wykazują silną, aczkolwiek odmienną aktywność allelopatyczną warunkowaną obecnością specyficznych substancji wykazujących różną aktywność biologiczną.
A study of the chemical composition and biological activity of extracts from wild carrot (Daucus carota l.) seeds waste
2015
Waste (wild carrot seeds, Daucus carota L.) formed after the industrial extraction of 96% ethanol were re-extracted with 40% and 70% ethanol in order to recover of valuable substances for potential use as a safe food additives and functional food ingredients or nutraceuticals. In this study we compared chemical composition and activity of two obtained extracts (70% EtOH and 40% EtOH). The results indicated that the 70% EtOH extract has a higher total phenol and flavonoid content than 40% EtOH extract. The antioxidant activity of 70% EtOH extract was 86.88 % ± 3.018, whereas of 40% EtOH extract scavenging activity was 78.72% ± 3.276. The extracts were also active against bacteria with MIC ag…
Daucus carota subsp. maximus (Desf.) Ball from Pantelleria, Sicily (Italy): isolation of essential oils and evaluation of their bioactivity
2021
Daucus is a genus of economically important plants belonging to Apiaceae family spread in temperate regions. Species of this genus are used as food and several biological properties have reported. The chemical composition of the essential oils from different organs (roots, stems and flowers) of Daucus carota subsp. maximus, a species not previously investigated, was analyzed by GC-MS. Our results showed the presence of β-phellandrene as the most abundant component of stems and flowers and of γ-terpinene as a major compound of the oil from the roots. Flower essential oil caused a greater increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) i…
Degradation of Amino-(3-methoxyphenyl)methanephosphonic Acid by Alternaria sp
2002
Alternaria sp. isolated from the surface of carrot ( Daucus carota ) seeds appeared to be able to degrade amino-(4-methoxyphenyl)-methanephosphonic acid using it as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus for growth.
