Objective: To study chemical constituents and antimicrobial activities of essential oil from Daucus carota in Guizhou province. Method: Steam distillation was employed to extract essential oil from D. carota and the compositions of essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Result: 49 compounds were identified
accounting for 96.39% of its total content. The essential oil had inhibition to many bacterial species
the minimum inhibitory concentration to Bacillus subtili
Escherichia coli
Salmonella typhimurium
Staphyloccocus aureus Rosenbach and Micrococcus luteus. were 0.65-1.25
