Abstract
The Apiaceae family, commonly known as the carrot or parsley family, is a large group of plants known for their hollow stems, compound umbel-shaped flower clusters, and often aromatic qualities. This family includes over 3,700 species across 434 genera, featuring many economically important plants like carrots, celery, coriander, and cumin. While these plants are rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential oils, some members of this family contain phototoxic or even poisonous compounds (Plunkett et al., 2005).
