Abstract

Common carrot is widely cultivated in many countries as a food plant. Raw material of this plant has antispasmodic, antibacterial, cytotoxic, antiparasitic, cardioprotective, and hepatoprotective activity.

Common carrot in non-pharmacopoeial Ukraine, therefore, it requires in-depth pharmacognostic study. In addition, research of its most common varieties in Ukraine, namely “Bright” and “Nantes Kharkiv” remains relevant.

The aim of research was determination of the volatile fractions components of aerial part and roots of Common carrot of “Bright” and “Nantes Kharkiv” varieties.

Methods. Gas chromatography method was used for determination of Common carrot volatile fractions.

Results. In result of the study, 32 compounds were identified in the volatile fraction of Common carrot aerial part of “Bright” variety, 34 compounds were determined in roots of the same sample. 20 components were found in the volatile fraction of Common carrot aerial part of “Nantes Kharkiv” variety, and in its roots 39 compounds were identified.

All the volatile fractions studied characterized by the presence of Caryophyllene and Caryophyllene oxide in high amount. Sesquiterpene alcohol Carotol was determined in all the samples studied.

Conclusion. According to the results of the given research, marker compound Carotol was found in all Common carrot objects studied. The obtained data can be used for standardization of aerial part and roots of Common carrot of “Bright” and “Nantes Kharkiv” varieties
