Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are consumed as an important dietary source of provitamin A including $\beta$-carotene, $\alpha$-carotene and lutein. An HPLC method was applied to determine the content of the carotenoid composition in carrot cutivars cultivated in Korea. HPLC analyses were carried out with five carrot cultivars (Socheon-5-chon, Hongsim-5-chon, Myeongju-5-chon, Seonhongbom-5-chon and Betarich) sown at April, 2007 and six cultivars (Yeoreum-5-chon, Hanyeoreum-5-chon, Sinheukjeon-5-chon, Bibariheukjeon, Manina and Betarich) sown at August of the same year. In general, the former varieties are not used for the sowing at summer because of their bolting (growth of floral axis). The former and the latter carrots were harvested after 110 and 96 days from seeding, respectively, and the carotenoids were extracted with acetone after freeze-drying. The amount of $\alpha$-carotene ($117.7{\sim}205.3\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) was similar to that of $\beta$-carotene ($113.1{\sim}189.6\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) for the carrot cultivars sown at spring, while the content ($46.2{\sim}71.1\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) was about a half of $\beta$-carotene content ($92.5{\sim}140.2\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) for the latter cultivars. In addition, the average content of lutein ($25.2\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$) in the former cultivars was eight times higher than that in the latter cultivars ($3.1\;{\mu}g/g{\cdot}DW$). Among the spring cultivation types, Socheon-5-chon and Myeongju-5-chon showed higher amount of $\alpha$-carotene and $\beta$-carotene, while the higher amount was determined in Yeoreum-5-chon and Sinheukjeon-5-chon among the autumn cultivation types. Validation of the HPLC-DAD method showed good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.997) of the three compounds analyzed in a wide concentration range ($0.025{\sim}20\;{\mu}g/ml$). The R.S.D. values for intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 19.2% and the mean recovery of each compound was 85.4~104.7%.

베타리치 당근을 HCA 농도별 침지시간별로 각각 세척한 후 PE bag에 포장하여 $8^{\circ}C$에서 12일간 저장하여 미생물분석, 경도, 표면색, 백화지수 및 관능적 품질변화를 조사하였다. 총균수는 침지시간을 3분으로 한 처리구 T-II는 $4.37{\pm}0.19\;\log\;CFU/g$, T-III는 $4.27{\pm}0.13\;\log\;CFU/g$로 저장초기의 대조구에서 보다 적게 나타났다. 대장균군의 경우 저장일수 8일차의 처리구 T-II와 T-III는 대조구보다 적게 검출되었으며, 모든 처리구에서 E. coli는 검출되지 않았다. 3분 침지한 처리구가 1분 침지한 처리구보다 저장 12일 차에서 경도의 감소폭이 적었으며, T-I T-II, T-III로 갈수록 감소폭이 줄어들었다. 저장기간 중 모든 처리구의 L값은 감소하였고 a와 b값은 증가하였다. WI는 저장기간 중 증가하였으며, HCA 처리농도가 증가할수록 증가폭은 적었다. 저장 8일차의 관능적 품질평가 결과, 무처리구와 HCA 처리구의 이취평가는 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 유통기한 연장을 위하여 당근 세척에 HCA을 50 ppm 이상 사용하는 것이 안전성 및 품질 향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
