Details: The Black carrot plays an important role in human nutrition, as it comprises a variety of health promoting components. In addition to the presence of known antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, black carrots have also attracted attention due to the presence of phenolic compounds, which contribute significantly to the antioxidant capacity. Black carrots are perishable and difficult to preserve as a raw product. Therefore, black carrots grown in Turkey are often processed into different products such as juice, concentrate and Salgam – i.e., a traditional lactic acid fermented beverage. Black carrots are also an excellent source of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) along with helping protect the arteries against oxidation. Anthocyanins also help protect us against various forms of cancer. This variety has high nutraceutical values and is rich in anthocyanins, phenols, flavonoids ß-carotene, calcium, iron, and zinc. Its anti-oxidant activity is four times higher than red carrot.
