The influence of variety and growth conditions on the nutritive value of carrots

Yield, chemical composition and nutritional quality responses of carrot, radish and turnip to elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide

“…Protein content of carrot (in ambient CO 2 ) in the present study was 149.9 ± 2.81 g kg −1 , which was higher than the results obtained by Bao and Chang and by Brunsgaard et al . but much lower than those from Singh et al .…”

“…However, according to Brunsgaard et al . protein content of carrot depends on its variety as well as time of harvesting . The impact of CO 2 enrichment on protein content of carrot, radish and turnip root tuber is given in Table .…”

Rats show differences in some biomarkers of health when eating diets based on ingredients produced with three different cultivation strategies

“…It is well documented that the variation in nutrient content of similar food products is highly dependent on, for example, time of harvest, harvest year, specific field location. 51,52 Thus, when reading the discussion of the present data, it should be noted that the present results of the dietary treatments cannot be applied to the population of 'organic' or 'conventional' foods.…”

Influence of different cultivation methods on carbohydrate and lipid compositions and digestibility of energy of fruits and vegetables

“…Environmental as well as cultivation factors may greatly influence the chemical composition of plants 1. The main factors affecting the chemical composition of foodstuff are level and type of fertilizer,2–4 location or soil type,5, 6 and year of harvest 7, 8…”
