Hi everyone,

I'm now currently having a research on food fermentation. My Subject is Carrot, I would like to get more details on carrot enzymes.
As we know, beta-carotene is major in carrot, but besides that, what else the enzymes that contain within carrot?
What are those enzyme assay(method) for it,??
Please feel free to share. Thank you.

I don't know anything much about carrot enzymes other then the beta carotene
I do know about digestive enzymes, papaya enzymes and bromelain (pineapple) enzymes

carrots have alpha carotene and amylase,
