1996
Krüger, H. | Hammer, K.
The essential oils of the seeds (fruits) of 66 cultivars of dill, which were obtained by hydrodistillation and hexane extraction, have been examined by GC. The oil content was found to vary from 1.91% to 7.25%. The three known chemotypes were observed, but there were also transition types. In addition, a new chemotype which contained limonene (43.7%), dihydrocarvone (3.1%), carvone (41.2%) and myristicin (11.7%) was found in the assortment of dill cultivars. No dillapiole was found in this type.
