Carrots, scientifically known as Daucus carota L., are among the most popular and widely consumed vegetables. They used for cooking juice production, both industrially in households, resulting large amounts of waste each year, mainly from peel. The peels rich antioxidant compounds that can be either cosmetics or food feed additives. Therefore, this work, extraction these was optimized using green techniques (pulsed electric field and/or ultrasonication) solvents. Response surface methodology applied to achieve optimization. Under optimum conditions, total polyphenol yield 8.26 mg gallic acid equivalents per g dry weight (dw) carotenoid content 137.44 μg β-carotene dw. extract reportedly showed an capacity 76.57 μmol ascorbic (AAE) dw by FRAP assay 63.48 AAE DPPH assay, while 2.55 Furthermore, chromatographic quantification individual bioactive through a diode array detector performed, wherein catechin yielded highest proportion (18.6%) 6.88 mg/g This study addressed inquiries regarding valorization carrot peels, well several strategies recovering their diverse components procedures
