Dill seed Extract (Total extract)

Dill seed total supercritical CO₂ extract (Anethum graveolens) is the total extract grade and captures the complete phytochemical profile of dill fruits, balancing aromatic terpenes with high-value structural lipids. This pale yellow to amber, viscous oil presents the full spectrum of dill's functional compounds.

Functional Properties

Petroselinic acid dominates at 53.97%—a positional isomer of oleic acid valued in cosmetic formulations for skin-barrier support and anti-inflammatory properties. The terpene fraction features dillapiole (18.44%) with its characteristic phenylpropanoid spiciness, carvone (7.72%) providing minty-herbal notes, and limonene (5.74%) adding freshness. Additional fatty acids (linoleic 6.55%, palmitic 3.52%) contribute to the extract's emollient character.

Quality

Complete extraction profile capturing both volatile and lipid fractions. Petroselinic acid content verified by GC-FID. Low peroxide value indicates fresh processing. Complies with Ph. Eur. specifications.
