*Infectious Diseases: Carrot, The Tasty Food That Gobbles Up Pathogenic Microorganisms, Scientists Revealed

Kyle J. Norton

Carrots may have a profound and positive effect in gobbled up foreign microbial organisms, before they can cause infection and damage to the host tissue, some scientists suggested.

The results of the veggie inhibition of microbacterial expression in increased risk of infection were demonstrated by respectable institutes, including Iowa State University and Université de Monastir.

Infectious tissue caused by microbial organisms, can induce transmissible disease or communicable disease through production of toxins.

Most common symptoms of infection are fever. This is the result of reaction of immune response in stimulated over production of pro inflammatory cytokines in protection the damage or injure against micro pathogens.

However, over repression of pro inflammatory factors can also induce tissue damage and forming of scars. 

Other common symptoms also include chills and sweats, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion,....and burning or pain with urination

Some researchers suggested that most people with balance of antioxidant, produced by tissue enzyme and free radicals are normally perform quite well against micro organisms during the time of infection.

Unluckily, people with weakened immune system caused by reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes may need to gobble up some anti inflammatory agents to speed up the recovery.

Conventional antibiotics may be helpful, however, they can cause severe adverse effects.

Carrot, a root vegetable with orange color is a sub spices of Daucus carota, belongings to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe.

In the investigate the effect of essential oils extracted from Daucus carota L. (Apiaceae) seeds in inhibited the spread of microbial organism through comparison of 4 volatile compounds β-bisabolene (mean content of 39.33%), sabinene (8.53%), geranyl acetate (7.12%), and elemicin (6.26%), researchers found that application of all compounds exert strong activity in inhibited expression of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium).

The result of efficacy probably were due to carrot seed extract's protection of cell membrane against micro organism in initiated cell infection

Nornally, infectious agents invade cell membrane as the entry point to alternate DNA of the healthy cells.

In vitro, injection of all major compounds also showed a potential effect against Candida albicans, a pathogenic yeast.

Further more, essential oil of carrot seed extract also exerted a similar antibacterial and antifungal activities in compared to individual compound.

Some researchers suggested that antioxidant may also have a profound effect in initiated expression of free radical cytotoxicity in facilitated damage and death of microorganims, particularly in the infectious cells.

Interestingly, the precipitated cytotoxicity induced by reactive oxygen species and carrot antioxidant did not cause harm to the healthy cells.

Also, the expression of antioxidant in the found compound ameliorated the immune response to protect our body against the stimulation of microorganism in initiated production of inflammatory cytokine without reduced immune activity.

Over expression of proinflammation not only associated to increased symptoms of swelling, pain, fever but also increased risk of cell damage and apoptosis in the site of infection, leading to abnormal healing skin.

Additionally, in analysis of the carrot essential oil from flowers and roots of Daucus carota L. ssp. maritimus obtained by hydrodistillation, researchers at the Université de Monastir reported that out of thirty-two and six compounds were identified in flower and root oils, phenolic derivatives (76.3%), myristicin (31; 29.7%), and dillapiole (32; 46.6%) constituted to main fraction demonstrated most protective effect in the inhibition of a series of common human pathogenic bacteria.

According to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays, the found chemical compound also inhibited some clinically and environmentally isolated strains.

The finding evidences, suggested that carrot with abundant bioactive compounds may be used as a function food for reduced risk and treatment of microbacterial infection.
