Effect of Foam-mat Drying on Bioactive, Powder and Thermal Properties of Carrot Juice Powders
In this study, powder properties of foam-mat dried carrot juice powders including 15% egg albumen (EA) and 15% egg albumen+ 10% whey protein isolate (WPI) during 90 days of storage at room conditions were evaluated by means of physical, chemical, thermal (DSC and TGA) and microstructural (SEM) analyses. The powder flow properties (wettability, hygroscopicity, degree of caking, Carr index and Hausner ratio) have been significantly affected from the moisture uptake during storage; however, powder flow properties of 15% EA+ 10% WPI powders were found to be better than 15% EA powders as it was also confirmed by particle diamet...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7161: Chemical Composition, Functional and Anticancer Properties of Carrot
Caputo Plants are a valuable source of drugs for cancer treatment. Daucus carota has been investigated for its health properties. In particular, Daucus carota L. subsp. Sativus, the common edible carrot root, has been found to be rich in bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and dietary fiber and contains many other functional components with significant health-promoting features, while Daucus carota L. subsp. Carrot (Apiacae), also known as wild carrot, has been usually used for gastric ulcer therapy, diabetes, and muscle pain in Lebanon. Here, we review the chemical composition of Daucus carota L. and the function...

Proximate composition and prevalence and exposure assessment of aflatoxins intake through consumption of fresh carrot and processed marketed carrot products in South Punjab, Pakistan
Nat Prod Res. 2023 Oct 5:1-10. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2023.2261611. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarrot (Daucus carota L.) is a nutrient-rich vegetable that is widely cultivated and consumed in Pakistan in both raw and processed form. Data on the proximate composition and natural occurrence of aflatoxins (AFs) in carrots and marketed carrot products is lacking in Pakistan and the risk exposure of AF has not been characterised before. Thus, the current study was designed to know the frequently consumed carrot products with per capita consumption, and risk assessment of AF through these products in various regions of South P...

Congener-specific uptake and accumulation of bisphenols in edible plants: Binding to prediction of bioaccumulation by attention mechanism multi-layer perceptron machine learning model
In this study, the uptake, translocation, and accumulation of five bisphenols (BPs) in carrot and lettuce plants were investigated through hydroponic culture (duration of 168 h) and soil culture (duration of 42 days) systems. The results suggested a higher bioconcentration factor (BCF) of bisphenol AF (BPAF) in plants than that of the other four BPs. A positive correlation was found between the log BCF and the log Kow of BPs (R2carrot = 0.991, R2lettuce = 0.784, P < 0.05), while the log (translocation factor) exhibited a negative correlation with the log Kow (R2carrot = 0.882, R2lettuce = 0.723, P < 0.05). The result...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 6589: Effect of Extraction Methods on the Antioxidant Potential and Cytotoxicity of the Combined Ethanolic Extracts of Daucus carota L., Beta vulgaris L., Phyllanthus emblica L. and Lycopersicon esculentum against Gastric Adenocarcinoma Cells
This study assessed how three distinct preparation methods affect the phenolic, flavonoid, carotenoid, and ascorbic acid contents, antioxidant level, and cytotoxicity of the combined fruit extract. The fruit samples were taken in the ratio of carrot (6): beetroot (2): tomato (1.5): amla (0.5) and processed into a lyophilized slurry (LS) extract, lyophilized juice (LJ) extract, and hot-air oven-dried (HAO) extract samples. The sample extracts were assessed for their phytoconstituent concentrations and antioxidant and cytotoxic potential. The total phenolic content in LS, LJ, and HAO extracts was 171.20 &amp;plusmn; 0.02...
