Abstract

Proximate composition of Indian dill (Anethum sowa) seeds and the physicochemical characteristics of its volatile oil were determined. GC-MS analysis of steam-distilled volatile oil showed the presence of 21 constituents of which limonene (42.67%), carvone (22.50%) and dillapiole (15.92%) were the major constituents. Dillapiole (an undesirable toxic compound) could be separated from the volatile oil by fractional distillation. Deterpenation of the volatile oil gave about 30% terpeneless oil. Dill seed oleoresin, stored at low temp. (8-10C) maintained high storage stability even without addition of antioxidants (BHA and TBHQ).
