摘要

Carrots are economically significant root vegetables rich in bioactive compounds with diverse health benefits. This study investigates the morphological characterization and genetic diversity analysis of various Daucus genotypes using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The analysis of total carotenoids, β carotene, vitamin A, anthocyanins, and sugars was carried out to elucidate their potential health benefits and nutritional value. Key findings highlight SKAU-C-16 and SKAU-C-18 as the top carotenoid-rich genotypes (79.32 mg/100 g, 77.68 mg/100 g), while SKAU-C-10 and SKAU-C-48 exhibited the highest beta-carotene and vitamin A concentrations. Anthocyanins peaked in SKAU-C-30 and SKAU-C-17 (255.91 mg/100 g, 254.89 mg/100 g), and SKAU-C-9 and SKAU-C-22 contained the highest total sugars (8.57%). Crucially, genotypes SKAU-C-12, SKAU-C-19, SKAUC-28, SKAU-C-36, SKAU-C-41, and SKAU-C-47 demonstrated superior in vitro antidiabetic properties, surpassing acarbose in enzyme inhibition, with SKAU-C-47 leading (50.66%). These findings emphasize the biochemical diversity of carrot genotypes and their potential for functional foods targeting metabolic diseases. Further in vivo and cellular bioassays are recommended to validate their therapeutic applications.
