Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are consumed as an important dietary source of provitamin A including β-carotene, α-carotene and lutein. An HPLC method was applied to determine the content of the carotenoid composition in carrot cutivars cultivated in Korea. HPLC analyses were carried out with five carrot cultivars (Socheon-5-chon, Hongsim-5-chon, Myeongju-5-chon, Seonhongbom-5-chon and Betarich) sown at April, 2007 and six cultivars (Yeoreum-5-chon, Hanyeoreum-5-chon, Sinheukjeon-5-chon, Bibariheukjeon, Manina and Betarich) sown at August of the same year. In general, the former varieties are not used for the sowing at summer because of their bolting (growth of floral axis). The former and the latter carrots were harvested after 110 and 96 days from seeding, respectively, and the carotenoids were extracted with acetone after freeze-drying. The amount of α-carotene (117.7∼205.3 μg/g・DW) was similar to that of β-carotene (113.1∼189.6 μg/g・ DW) for the carrot cultivars sown at spring, while the content (46.2∼71.1 μg/g・DW) was about a half of β-carotene content (92.5∼140.2 μg/g・DW) for the latter cultivars. In addition, the average content of lutein (25.2 μg/g・DW) in the former cultivars was eight times higher than that in the latter cultivars (3.1 μg/g・DW). Among the spring cultivation types, Socheon-5-chon and Myeongju-5-chon showed higher amount of α-carotene and β-carotene, while the higher amount was determined in Yeoreum-5-chon and Sinheukjeon-5-chon among the autumn cultivation types. Validation of the HPLC-DAD method showed good linearity (r2 > 0.997) of the three compounds analyzed in a wide concentration range (0.025∼20 μg/ml). The R.S.D. values for intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 19.2% and the mean recovery of each compound was 85.4∼104.7%.

당근(Daucus carota L. cv. Hongshim)의 접합자배와 체세포배의 경정부의 구조는 주사전자현미경과 종단면 관찰을 통하여 이루어졌다. 접합자배의 경정부는 도립된 보우트형이고, 2ㆍ3ㆍ4자엽 체세포배의 경정부는 각각 도립된 보우트형, 피라미드형 및 볼록한 다이아몬드형으로 나타났다. 접합자배의 경정부는 다소 작은 세포들로 구성되어 있고, 초층과 내체의 구별이 된다. 체세포배의 경정부는 다소 큰 세포들이 불규칙하게 배열되어 있다.

Carrot seedling emgryos showing variations in cotyledon number were selected and anatomical comparisons of the embryo vascular systems were performed between the variants and normal two cotyledonary (5) embryos from 800 seedings germinated . Externally, all of the four and six cotyledonary embryos had two cotyledonary petioles. Each of the cotyledonary petioles divided into two or three on the upper part fo the petiole which result in four and six cotyledons, respectively. However, the embryos had three different cotyledonary petioles in the three cotyledonary embryos. On the basis of the pattern of vascular system, the four and six cotyledonary embryos had the same basic vascular system as fnormal two cotyledonary embryos, Therefore the cotyledon number abnormality could result from the branching split of the abnormally thickened upper part of the cotyledonary petiole. However, the three cotyledonaryembryos had a different vascular system from the normla two cotyledonary embryos. They could be regarded as different varieties form the two cotyledon embryos. All embryos observed had short cylindrical plumule sheath which formed by the fusion of the cotyledon bases. The presence of plumule sheath strontgly implied that the initiation of the cotyledons was not from the two localized primordia but from the circular proimordiu formed at the blobular stageof embryo, and it is not consistent with current views of cotyledon initiation. On the formation of the primary vascular system of carrot seedlings, it is suggested that the primary vascular system of the plumule was formed independently from that of the root-hypocotyle-cotyledon system.

For the purpose of improving microbiolgical quality of carrot powder, which is being used as minor ingredients of convenience foods, comparative influence of Υ-irradiation and ethylene oxide(E.O) fumigation was investigated with emphasis on sterilizating effect and physicochemical propertied Carrot powder sample was contaminated with thermophiles 4.0103/g, acid tolerant bacteria 3.7103/g and coliforms 1.6102/g, respectively. And thus sanitation process was required. E.O fumigation in commercial practice was not enough to destroy thermophilic bacteria, while Υ-irradiation at below 5 kGy could reduce all microorganisms up to undectected levels. Radiosensitivity(D10) of thermophiles was shown to be 2.25 kGy. The applicable dose of irradiation to the improvement of microbiological quality showed insignificant influences on the physicochemical quality of the sample.
