Conclusions
The present work reports for the first time the anthocyanin
profile of two varieties of black carrots cultivated in the Cuevas
Bajas region of southern Spain. A good correlation between the
concentration of phenolic compounds and the total antioxidant
capacity was reported. High levels of acylated anthocyanins tend to
improve the total antioxidant capacity compared to non-acylated
anthocyanins, as recently reported.
