In rational nutrition, vegetables play an important role due to their high biological and low energy value. The most widespread vegetables in our country belong to root vegetables. They are grown mainly for bulbs, corms, rhizomes, fleshy roots, and hypocotyl tubers. Root vegetables can be eaten raw or cooked. Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a basic representative of root vegetables. For the most valuable components counts beta-carotene – the major component of total carotenoids. This paper evaluates changes in total carotenoids, refractometric dry matter, and gravimetric dry matter in three varieties of carrot (Kamaran F1, Komarno F1, Romosa) grown in soil and climatic conditions ex-situ in Nitra. We have evaluated roots grown in non-fertilized soil, soil after application of manure, horticultural compost, and their combinations. The results show that the variants fertilized with compost and a mixture of compost and manure had the most considerable influence on the synthesis and content of total carotenoids as well as the content of dry matter and refractometric dry matter

Abstract Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is one of the main root vegetables rich in bioactive compounds with appreciable health-promoting properties, largely consumed in Algeria. In the current study, the storage effect (at 4 °C throughout 12 days) on bioactive compound stability and the antioxidant activity of two Algerian orange carrot varieties (Supermuscade and Touchon) were investigated. Total phenolic content of samples was determined by the Folin–Ciocâlteu method. Antioxidant capacity was determined spectrophotometrically, based on the evaluation of Free Radical Scavenging Activity (FRSA) using DPPH radical and Ferric Reducing Power (FRP). The results showed that the Touchon variety is richer in phenolics, flavonoids, and carotenoids and presents higher antioxidant activity in comparison with the Supermuscade variety. At the end of storage, the bioactive compound content and antiradical activity increased significantly (p < 0.05). Also, an extremely significant correlation (p < 0.001) was observed between the antioxidant contents and the antioxidant capacities of aqueous carrot extracts.

Increased consumption of fish and vegetable expected to increasing fiber intake and protein in children. Meatballs are the favorite food of children. Tilapia is a local fish that can be processed into meatballs, as a substitute for the function of beef and to increase the consumption of fish. Carrots have advantages with other vegetables because it has a Beta-carotene otherwise it is rich in potassium (potasium) and fiber, to increase fiber in meatballs added white oyster mushroom. This study aims to know the effect of the addition white oyster mushrooms to the nutrient content and character organoleptik tilapia fish carrot meatballs. The design of study is Experiment. The treatment consisted of the addition of oyster mushroom 15%, 17.5% , 20% and 22,5%. The results showed that the addition of oyster mushroom 15% gives the characteristics of the best meatballs is Carbohydrates 25.56% , fat 2.31%, protein 11.76%, crude fiber 0.71% and the character organoleptik taste, color, texture aroma regular rate the panel until to not like. Keywords: carrot, meatballs, tilapia fish, white oyster mushroom   ABSTRAK Peningkatan konsumsi ikan dan sayuran diharapkan dapat meningkatkan asupan serat dan protein pada anak- anak. Bakso merupakan makanan yang di gemari anak- anak. Ikan nila merupakan ikan lokal yang dapat diolah menjadi bakso, sebagai pengganti fungsi dari daging sapi dan untuk meningkatkan konsumsi ikan. Wortel memiliki kelebihan dengan sayuran lainya, karena memiliki Beta-karoten selain itu kaya akan kalium (potasium) dan serat, untuk meningkatkan serat pada bakso ditambahkan jamur tiram putih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk Mengetahui pengaruh penambahan jamur tiram putih terhadap kandungan zat gizi dan sifat organoleptik bakso ikan nila wortel. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah Eksperiment. Perlakuan terdiri dari penambahan jamur tiram putih 15%, 17,5% , 20% dan 22,5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan jamur tiram putih 15% memberikan karakteristik bakso terbaik yaitu Karbohidrat 25,56% , lemak 2,31%, protein 11,76% serat kasar 0,71% dan sifat organoleptik rasa, warna, tekstur dan aroma panelis menilai biasa sampai agak suka. Kata kunci: wortel, bakso, ikan nila, jamur tiram putih

Carrot plant (Daucus carota L.) is a type of vegetable that contains lots of vitamin A and is very much needed by the body to help regulate or metabolic processes in the body. The research design used in this study was experimental, the population and sample were carrots from Ngabab village aged 3-3.5 months, using purposive sampling technique. The results of the qualitative analysis showed that there were orange spots with an Rf value of 0.64 in the carrot extract and the beta-carotene comparison standard. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that the average level of vitamin A in carrots was 49.7% with an absorbance of 0.649. Keywords: Visible Spectrophotometry, Vitamin A, Carrot.

The behavior of people who less consume vegetables and fruit can have a negative impact on health. The lack of appetite for vegetable consumption by the society made the researchers interested in making a combination of vegetables, namely carrots with local foods, namely Baroncong.This research aims to determine the acceptability of local baroncong snacks with the addition of carrots.This research is a pre-experimental study. The panelists from this study consisted of 30 Nutrition Department Students from Health Polytechnic Ministry of Health Makassar. Assessment based on taste aspects, color of aroma and texture of baroncong products with the addition of carrots 50%, 75%, 100% with the criteria of very like, like, dislike and very dislike.The results showed that the acceptability of baroncong with the addition of carrots in terms of taste was a concentration of 75%, which was very much as much as 46.7% and liked as much as 50%, the color aspect was 50% concentration consisting of 36.7% likes and likes as much as 53.3%, the aroma aspectis a concentration of 50% which consists of very much as much as 33.3% and likes as much as 63.3%, in terms of aspects of texture are concentrations of 50% and 75%, each of which consists of as much as 23.3% and likes as much as 63, 3%. Based on these data, Baroncong with the addition of carrots received is a concentration of 75%.
