Carrot (Daucus carota) is an important root vegetable which is used commonly for juice production.
The juice yield in carrots is about 60–70%, and the rest is lost as carrot pomace.
Despite its superior residual amount of all the vitamins particularly vitamin A, B and C, minerals and dietary fibre, the carrot pomace does not find proper utilisation and can become a source of environmental problem due to its high moisture content (about 88%).
