Description

Carrot (Daucus carota L) is a kind of nutritious and economical root vegetable. It is popular because it is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, carotenoids and minerals. Carrot not only has high nutritional value, but also has certain health care and medical value. For example, carotenoids are potent antioxidants present in carrots which help to neutralize the effect of free radicals. The report shows that they have inhibitory mutagenesis activity and thus help to reduce the risk of certain cancers [1]. In recent years, the consumption of carrot and its products have increased steadily. When a carrot is turned into a powder with microstructure, its surface area and porosity increase significantly, and the solubility and functionality of the product are significantly enhanced, which makes it easily digested and absorbed in human bodies [2].
