This study was executed to determine phytochemical
content i.e. total carotenoids, phenolics and flavonoids,
and antioxidant ability expressed in the form of
FRAP, CUPRAC and ABTS activity among different
coloured tropical carrots (orange, red, yellow, rainbow and
black carrot) developed at ICAR - IIVR, Varanasi, Uttar
Pradesh, India. Overall, within different colour group, the
extent of variation for various phytochemical content and
antioxidant potentiality is narrow i.e. ranged from 1.04 - to
3.21 - fold; but at the same time, the genotypic variability
across genotypes is too wide which varied 20.90 - to 57.92 -
fold for phytochemical and antioxidants is an indication of
broad genetic base of carrot germplasm. Among all the
carrots, black carrot had an exceptionally high content of
total phenolics and flavonoids, and thereby led to the
highest antioxidant ability in the terms of FRAP, CUPRAC
and ABTS activity expressing about 76–83% relative
potentiality followed by rainbow carrot, and least in
orange, red and yellow carrot (black carrotrainbow
carrot[red] carrot & orange carrot & yellow carrot).
The content of phenolics and flavonoids were highly correlated
with antioxidant activity (0.955 * * to 0.992 * *).
However, the most cultivated and consumed carrots,
orange and red one, possessed higher amount of carotenoids.
The content of carotenoids negatively correlated
with total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidants activity
( - 0.612 * * to - 0.627 * *). Broad genetic base and selection
based on total phenolics content could be pivotal in the
future breeding to harness the genetic wealth of carrot
efficiently.
