Background. Carrot is a multi-nutritional food source. It is an important root vegetable, rich in natural bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties, such as antioxidants that have anti-carcinogenic properties. Aim. This review summarises the occurrences and biosynthesis of phytochemicals and factors affecting their concentration in carrot and their pharmacological functions related to human health. Method. 155 articles including original research papers, books, book chapters were downloaded and 94 articles (most relevant to the topic) were selected for writing the review article. The rejected research papers were too old or irrelevant. Results. Carrot contains important phytochemicals i.e. phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polyacetylenes and ascorbic acid which are bioactive compounds and recognised for their nutraceutical effects and health benefits. These chemicals aid in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular diseases due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, plasma lipid modification and anti-tumour properties. This vegetable can be used to improve the health of poor people, especially in developing countries. Discussion. We recommend carrot to be promoted as a food security and food safety crop in the future to meet the global food demands in developed as well as in developing countries. Future cultivation programmes should focus on the cultivation of carrot for its phytochemicals to improve the health of impoverished people.

Carrots are a multi-nutritional food source. They are an important root vegetable, rich in natural bioactive compounds, which are recognised for their nutraceutical effects and health benefits. This review summarises the occurrence, biosynthesis, factors affecting concentration, and health benefits of phytochemicals found in Daucus carota. Two hundred and fifty-five articles including original research papers, books, and book chapters were analysed, of which one hundred and thirty articles (most relevant to the topic) were selected for writing the review article. The four types of phytochemicals found in carrots, namely phenolics, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, and ascorbic acid, were summarised. These chemicals aid in the risk reduction of cancer and cardiovascular diseases due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, plasma lipid modification, and anti-tumour properties. Numerous factors influence the amount and type of phytochemicals present in carrots. Genotype (colour differences) plays an important role; high contents of α and β-carotene are present in orange carrots, lutein in yellow carrots, lycopene in red carrots, anthocyanins in the root of purple carrots, and phenolic compounds abound in black carrots. Carotenoids range between 3.2 mg/kg and 170 mg/kg, while vitamin C varies from 21 mg/kg to 775 mg/kg between cultivars. Growth temperatures of carrots influence the level of the sugars, carotenoids, and volatile compounds, so that growing in cool conditions results in a higher yield and quality of carrots, while higher temperatures would increase terpene synthesis, resulting in carrots with a bitter taste. It is worthwhile to investigate the cultivation of different genotypes under various environmental conditions to increase levels of phytochemicals and enhance the nutritional value of carrot, along with the valorisation of carrot by-products.

Background and Objective: In the current era of advancement in the field of pharmaceutics, there is a growing interest in applying nanomedicine technology for active phytoconstituents and herbal extracts. This revolution in the area of herbal medicine has led to the growth of different technological approaches for delivering poorly soluble active herbal constituents or phytoconstituents, and herbal extract to enhance the safety, bioavailability, efficacy as well as receptor binding selectivity of the active entity. These nano-medicinal approaches have shown to be more effective and reliable delivery system for herbal drugs. Niosomes are one of the novel drug delivery system approaches that have shown promising results when employed in the delivery of many drugs including herbal drugs. The term ‘phytoniosomes’ as mentioned in various research papers are phyto/herbal drugs encapsulated in a non-ionic vesicular system. During the past decade, several research articles have been published on the development and characterization of phytoniosome nano-vesicle along with their in vivo studies as well as delivery approaches via different routes. Methods: During the writing of this document, the data was derived from existing original research papers gathered from a variety of sources such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, etc. Conclusion: This review discusses various aspects of phytoniosomes covering different areas such as techniques and methods involved in their preparation, various factors affecting their physicochemical properties while developing phytoniosomes, their characterization, and several applications and advantages.

Improved crops are advocated to meet the dual challenge of food security and the fight against poverty in developing countries. As most poor people in developing countries live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihood, an important key to get them out of poverty is to increase agricultural productivity by using technologies such as improved crops. However, the rate of improved crops adoption remains surprisingly low in Niger, one of the world poorest countries. In this paper, we examine the factors affecting adoption of improved crops by rural farmers focusing on Niger. Using the 2014’s National Survey on Households Living Conditions and Agriculture, we investigate the effect of farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics, the farm’s quality, the geographic location, the production system, the access to improved seeds and the land tenure on the probability to use improved crops rather than local crops. Our results suggest that the ownership of a government land title is the most important driver in the adoption of improved crops by rural farmers. In addition, being a female, educated, practicing polyculture, having access to improved seed increase the probability to adopt improved crops. In contrast, household size, operating on the parcel for a long period and the parcel size reduces the probability to use improved crops. These determinants of improved crops adoption should be considered in Niger’s agricultural policy to succeed in the dissemination of improved crops among rural farmers.

Aflatoxins (AFTs) are toxic products of fungal metabolism, associated with serious health consequences and substantial economic losses to agriculture, livestock and poultry sectors, particularly in the developing countries. This review outlines the current information on AFTs in terms of historical background, classification, relative occurrence and co-existence with other mycotoxins in various food commodities. The phenomenon of aflatoxin (AFT) biosynthesis has been elucidated with reference to molecular basis, genetic regulation and factors affecting the AFT production. Moreover, the in vivo disposition kinetics, toxicological action and toxico-pathological consequences of AFTs have also been highlighted. Currently employed strategies for the detection and detoxification of AFTs, biomarkers of exposure assessment, potential economic impact and regulatory considerations regarding the AFTs have been emphasized.
