“…In the essential oil obtained from the fruits, leaves and stems of D. carota ssp. maximus (Saad et al, 1995), trans-methylisoeugenol, methyleugenol, basarone, shyobunone and preisocalamendiol were identified among the main constituents; in disagreement with other varieties, carotol, daucol and geranyl acetate were completely absent. Sabinene, linalool, linalyl acetate, carvone and carotol were the main compounds identified in the volatile oil of the leaves of D. carota ssp.…”

The chemical composition of fatty acids and the unsaponifiable fraction of the roots, leaves and stems from Daucus crinitus Desf. were, determined using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The fatty acid fractions of different organs (leaves, stems and roots) were characterized by lauric acid (17.9, 17.5 and 18.1 % respectively) and other long chain fatty acids (until C₂₂). Qualitative and quantitative differences were reported between the unsaponifiable fractions of different organs from D. crinitus. The unsaponifiable fractions of the leaves, roots and stem showed high amounts of aliphatic components (83.4%, 87.2% and 91.4%, respectively). The monoterpen, diterpen and sesquiterpen components were only present in small percentages. The antimicrobial properties of the D. critinus extracts were tested on four different microorganisms. These extracts were found to be active against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

La composición química de los ácidos grasos y la fracción insaponificable de raíces, hojas, y tallos de Daucus crinitus Desf. fueron establecidas utilizando cromatografía de gases (GC) y cromatografía de gases-espectrometría de masas (GC-MS). La fracción de ácidos grasos de los diferentes órganos (hojas, tallos y raíces) se caracterizó por el ácido láurico (17.9, 17.5 y 18.1% respectivamente) y otros ácidos grasos de cadena larga (hasta C22). Diferencias cualitativas y cuantitativas se registraron entre las fracciones insaponificable de los diferentes órganos de D. crinitus. De hecho, las fracciones insaponificable de la raíz, de la hoja y del tallo mostraron cantidades altas de componentes alifáticos (83.4%, 87.2% y 91.4%, respectivamente). Los componentes monoterpénicos, diterpénicos y sesquiterpénicos solo estuvieron presentes en un pequeño porcentaje. Las propiedades antimicrobianas de los extractos de D. critinus fueron ensayadas en cuatro microorganismos diferentes. Estos extractos fueron activos contra Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli y Candida albicans

“…carota growing wild in Poland (Góra et al, 2002;Staniszewska et al, 2005) and Lituania (Mockute and Nivinskiene, 2004) was characterized by high contents of ␣-pinene and sabinene; the oil of Daucus carota from Corsica has methylisoeugenol and ␣-pinene as the main compounds; the major constituent of the oil from Turkey is carotol (Ozcan and Chalchat, 2007); the seed oils of Daucus carota subsp. maximus from Lebanon have methylisoeugenol, ␤-bisabolene and ␤-asarone as the major components (Saad et al, 1995); the oil from Daucus carota subsp. sativus from China has carotol and ␣-pinene (Wu et al, 2006) and the oil of the seeds of Daucus carota subsp.…”

“…Daucus carota L. (Apiaceae) is an aromatic plant used since olden times in traditional medicine, due to recognized therapeutic properties, namely the antibacterial and antifungal activity of their essential oils (carrot oil). Although this plant has been subject to several investigations (Saad et al, 1995;Mazzoni et al, 1999;Mockute and Nivinskiene, 2004;Staniszewska et al, 2005;Kula et al, 2006;Wu et al, 2006;Rossi et al, 2007a) some scientific reports do not refer to the subspecies, a crucial aspect of this polymorphic species presenting 11 interrelated subspecies (Castroviejo, 2003). In addition, some reports do not make reference to the developmental stage at which the plants were harvested and how this influences essential oil production and quality.…”

a b s t r a c tEthnopharmacological relevance: Essential oils are known to possess antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi. Daucus carota L. is used since olden times in traditional medicine, due to recognized therapeutic properties, namely the antimicrobial activity of their essential oils.Aim of the study: In the present study the composition and the antifungal activity of the oils of Daucus carota L. subsp. halophilus (Brot.) A. Pujadas (Apiaceae), an endemic plant from Portugal, were evaluated. Moreover, their cytotoxicity in mouse skin dendritic cells at concentration showing significant antifungal activity was also evaluated.Material and methods: The oils were investigated by GC and GC-MS and the antifungal activity (MIC and MLC) were evaluated against yeasts, dermatophyte and Aspergillus strains. Assessment of cell viability was made by the MTT assay.Results: The results showed large variations in the compositions during ontogenesis, particularly in the amounts of elemicin that increased significantly in the ripe umbels (5.9% vs. 31.0%). The results also demonstrated that the oil with high amounts of elemicin, which have stronger antifungal activity, showed no cytotoxic effect, at concentrations ranging from 0.16 to 0.64 l/ml, for as long as 24h.Conclusion: It is possible to find appropriate doses of Daucus carota oil showing both antifungal activity and very low detrimental effect on mammalian cells.

“…It is used mainly in the food industry as a flavoring for soups, concentrates, grape wine, and nonalcoholic beverages, and also in the cosmetic and fragrance industry as a fixative (Saad et al, 1995;Surburg and Panten, 2006). It has fungicidal and antibacterial properties (Batt et al, 1983;Dwivedi et al, 1991;Giraud-Robert, 2005;Kilibarda et al, 1996;Staniszewska et al, 2005), and it has also been proven to be a hypotensive agent and a cardiac and central nervous system depressant (Saad et al, 1995).…”
