What effect does carotene have on carrots?

The content of carotene can be reflected by the color of carrots. It can be said that color is the phenotype of genes related to carotene synthesis, that is, genes related to carotene synthesis can be screened through color screening. There are sweet potatoes like this, and the carotene in sweet potatoes is also very high. This is actually genetic engineering in a broad sense. Humans have used it for a long time, but now it is controllable. On the contrary, most people will panic. In fact, the risk of natural artificial screening breeding is definitely greater than that of transgenic breeding. The significance of this is actually that the high carotene content in carrots is entirely the result of artificial breeding. If we insist on its significance to carrots, it may be that it can be metabolized into other substances for storage. As for photosynthesis, of course, there is no. Carotene can obviously improve and improve vision. It can enhance the antioxidant capacity of human body, effectively help skin care, whiten skin and delay aging. It avoids the slow adaptation to dark field caused by vitamin A deficiency, and also avoids the damage to eyes caused by strong light after dark field. At the same time, it can also prevent night blindness, dry eye, corneal ulcer and keratomalacia. Carrots contain a lot of β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A after being ingested by human digestive organs. It is the safest product to supplement vitamin A at present. So far, we have found at least 600 kinds of natural carotenoids, and a small part of them, such as β-carotene, will be converted into vitamin A in the body. As we all know, in addition to β-carotene, pumpkins and carrots also contain a lot of α -carotene
