Dill Seed Oil, Indian Type, occurs as a light yellow to light brown liquid with a rather harsh, caraway odor and flavor. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the cmshed mature fruit of Indian Dill, Anethum sowa D.C. (Fam. Umbelliferae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil, occasionally with slight opalescence. It is sparingly soluble in propylene glycol and practically insoluble in glycerin. 

Dill Oil Anethum sowa) Anethum sowa is the name for the Indian species of dill which was shown to have an apiole content of 5.7% [9]. The more common variety of dill is known as Anethum Graveolens and its apiole content is usually much less. The European varieties seem to contain almost zilch but has been demonstrated that if young dill plants are used then the apiole content can approach 4%. 

Dill Oil What else What else, indeed There are some very important distinctions about dill oil that you need to know in order to save yourself a lot of grief. On the planet called earth are two varieties of A W Anethum graveolens and Anethum sowa. A. graveolens is the dill that grows in Europe, North America or wherever. A. sowa is the dill that grows in India and surrounding countries.

Of course there is always the oil from the roots of this plant which has a monster myristicin content which you can see in Table XI in the Dillapiole Section. There is also the oil from the Indian variety of dill (Anethum sowa). Though typically low in myristicin, a study of various commercial sources in India showed chemotypes ranging from 0.2 - 20.3% [71 ]. 

Indian dill is grown as a cold weather crop, but this form has a longer fruit more narrowly winged, and is considered to be a distinct species, Peucedanum Sowa, Kurz, or Anethum Sowa, Roxb. 

A botanically very similar fruit from Anethum sowa Roxb. ex Flem. is cultivated in Japan and India. The composition of the seed oil is very similar to the one of European oil, the carvone content is lower, and moreover the oil contains caryophyl-lene, apiol and dill apiol. The latter was reported to lack in European oil [93].

DiU Oil is obtained by the distillation of the fruit of Anethum grav-eolens Linnseus Peticedanum graveolens Bentham). It is indigenous to Central and Southern Europe, but is found in many other loc dities, such as the Caucasus, Persia, and the north-east of Africa and India. Slight botanical differences exist between the European plant and that grown in India, so that the latter has been described as a distinct species (Anethum Sowa). A difference of opinion exists as to whether this distinction is justifiable, but the oils obtained from the two plants are certainly not identical. The yield of oil obtained from the seeds is about 3 to 4 per cent. 

The African fruits are slightly larger than the English fruits, and a little paler in colour. Their odour closely resembles the English. They are produced from plants grown from English imported seed, whilst the Indian variety has been ascribed by some to a different species, Anethum sowa, which is also the source of the Japanese dill.
