Botanical informations
Botanical name :
Daucus carota L.
Synonyms : Daucus vulgaris Lam // Daucus carota f. carota
Botanical profile :
Carrot is a biennial root vegetable belonging to the Apiaceae family and the genus Daucus L.
The Apiaceae family includes many spices, such as angelica, caraway, coriander, as well as dill, anise, and fennel.
Chemotypes :
Although they belong to the same botanical genus, we distinguish the eastern carrots (mainly Afghanistan) and the western carrots (Mediterranean).
Similarly, there are 2 species of Daucus Carota : ssp sativa (cultivated species) and ssp maximus (wild species).
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
Harvested from June to November in France, after its second year of cultivation. White flowers umbels take shape at the end of spring. Only a small red flower unfolds in the center of the umbel. After giving a mature fruit, the flowers straighten around the seeds to protect them.
The harvest is done manually before extraction of the fresh seeds to obtain an absolute (extraction made with volatile solvents, first with hexane then with alcohol to glaze the concrete), or dried to obtain an essential oil (extraction by steam distillation). In the case of the EO, the yield is 2 to 3%, for a 3 to 4 hours distillation. It is important to note that the EO density is superior to 1, so it is located under water inside the decanter.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in fougere, chypre and floral compositions to enhance violet leaf absolute, Mimosa Absolute or orris root butter. Sometimes used to replace or support orris root butter, for cost reasons.

Other comments :
The major constituent of the carrot is carotol, also present in the essential oil of pink berry. Thus, the carrot is the main precursor for the extraction of natural carotol.
