Result showed that the content of Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, K, Zn, P and vitamin C in Australia carrot is 33.8 ± 0.3 mg, 18.3 ± 0.4 mg, 0.73 ± 0.007 mg, 74.0 ± 0.3 mg, 243 ± 2 mg, 0.60 ± 0.003 mg, 5.50 ± 0.13 mg and 8.7 ± 0.7 mg per 100 g, respectively; while in China carrot is 32.1 ± 0.2 mg, 16.1 ± 0.3 mg, 0.88 ± 0.01 mg, 72.8 ± 0.5 mg, 241 ± 4mg, 0.37 ± 0.001 mg, 6.47 ± 0.08 mg and 6.6 ± 0.6 mg per 100 g respectively. Finally the content of Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, K, Zn, P and vitamin C in Kundasang carrot is 29.8 ± 0.3 mg, 15.4 ± 0.3 mg, 0.68 ± 0.01 mg, 66.8 ± 0.6 mg, 234 ± 2 mg, 0.46 ± 0.02 mg, 6.08 ± 0.03 mg and 5.3 ± 0.4 mg per 100 g, respectively.
