Comparison of chemical composition of carrot roots of orange, purple and white colour
Summary.

The aim of the study was to compare the chemical composition of carrot roots: orange, purple and white. The content of sugars, fibre, pectins, carotenoids, phenolic compounds and vitamin C was analysed. It has been shown that the chemical composition of roots was different for the studied varieties of carrots. The orange carrot root (‘Koral’) contained most of pectins (6.37% d.m.) and carotenoids (149.66 mg per 100 g d.m.), mainly β-carotene (approx. 50% of total carotenoids). In the purple carrot root (‘Purple Haze F1’) the highest total sugars (57.12% d.m.) were found, but the least fibre content. On the other hand white carrot root (‘White Satin F1’) contained the most of the fibre (50.76% d.m.), as well as the most soluble fraction (40%) of the total content.

Key words: orange carrot, purple carrot, white carrot, chemical composition
