Carrot Seed Oil (CAS NO.8015-88-1) 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 . Rather than the extract the distilled (ethereal) oil is used in perfumery and food aromatization. The main constituent of this oil turns out to be carotol. |
