英文摘要：

Fleshy root of carrot（Daucus carota） could be used as food and medicine. Carrot is rich in many nutritional components, such as polysaccharide, β-carotene and vitamin C. Dietary fiber, especially pectin, is one the most abundant components in carrot. This paper provided a comprehensive overview of research on polysaccharide from carrot.Structural and functional characterization of polysaccharide from carrot, and the change during food processing were highlighted. The existing problems in recent researches and future development were pointed out, which were expected to provide references for deeply and systematically study on structure and function of polysaccharide from carrot, and the application.
