Carrot seed oil

Carrot seed oil

Carrot seed oil is the essential oil extract of the seed from the carrot plant "Daucus carota". The oil has a woody, earthy sweet smell and is yellow or amber-coloured to pale orange-brown in appearance. The pharmocologically active constituents of carrot seed extract are three flavones: luteolin, luteolin 3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and luteolin 4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside [Kumarasamy Y, Nahar L, Byres M, Delazar A, Sarker SD. 2005. "The assessment of biological activities associated with the major constituents of the methanol extract of 'wild carrot' (Daucus carota L) seeds". Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy. 5(1):61-72.] .
