varieties of carrots containing three times more
lycopene than β-carotene. In yellow varieties of
carrots, xanthophylls content is higher than that of
the hydrocarbon carotenoids. Also, by genetic
improvement research succeeded in obtaining new
varieties of carrots in which the total carotenoid
content increased from 60-120 µg/g, at 310- 370 µg/g
[2-4]. It has been reported that processing methods
can results in degradation of carotenoids [
