Abstract

In this research. scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image
confirmed that CDs are almost spherical in shape and the size is
around 6.40 – 25.76 nm. The energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX)
spectrum showed the existence of carbon in the samples. The
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of carrot extract (CE)
and CDs is explained that the -C=O peak was found in 1740 and
1650 cm-1 in the CE, but it is completely lost in CDs. This result
indicates that the carbonyl group has undergone carbonization and
producing luminescent CDs
