In this study investigated the factors affecting the changes in carotenoid levels in carrots which are rich in vitamins, minerals, pulp, antioxidants and carotoneids. Nowadays, increasing interest in healthy nutrition, determining the positive effects of vegetables on human health are increasing the importance of carrot plant which contains plenty of antioxidant substances like carotenoids, β-carotene and vitamin A. Carrot contains carotenoids such as α-, β-, γ-, ζ- carotene, lutein, β-zeacharotene and lycopene, and 60-80% of them are β-carotene. Carrot is the first carotene isolated vegetable and one of the most important sources of vitamin A.
