Abstract

Anethum
graveolens L. (Apiaceae)
commonly known as dill is widely used as a spice crop and medicinal herb
worldwide. The aim of the
study was to extract and compare the volatile constituents present in the seeds
of Anethum graveolens by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) using three fiber
coatings [polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene
(PDMS/DVB), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and divinylbenzene/carboxen on
polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS)]. The volatile compounds were characterized
by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) on the DB-5 column. A total of 15 constituents representing
around 94-98% of the total components were identified. Carvone (26-35%), limonene (14-42%), dillapiole (9-34%) and cis-dihydrocarvone (8-14%) were found as the predominant constituents. The
results showed that the relative
abundances of the extracted compounds from dill seeds varied depending on the
nature of SPME fibers.
