Abstract
Daucus carota(D.carota)is rich phytochemical content and has potential pharmaco-logical properties.The root of the carrot serves as a nutritious source of vitamins,particularly notable for its high β-carotene content,which is a precursor to vitamin A.Additionally,it is an excellent source of flavonoids,polyacetylenes,phenolic acids,and carotenoids.These phytochemicals are associated with numerous health benefits,including antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,antimicrobial,anticancer,and hepatoprotec-tive effects.Recent research has expanded our knowledge of these bioactive com-pounds,providing insights into their molecular mechanisms of action.This information underscores the relevance of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of carrot phytochemicals in the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as anti-inflammatory activity,antioxidant activity,hepatoprotective activity,antifungal activity,antimicrobial activity,antibacterial activity,anticancer activity,antidiabetic activity,antiulcer activity,cardioprotective activity,antidepressant activity,antide-mentia effect,and analgesic effect.Moreover,the antimicrobial and immunomodula-tory properties of carrot extracts suggest their potential applications in traditional medicine and as complementary treatments in contemporary therapeutic practices.关键词
