Abstract


The growing concern for allopathic system, due to its side effect have gained the attention of researchers towards the exploration of traditional herbal system. Anethum graveolens L. (dill) is one of the widely utilized aromatic plant, due to its various therapeutics and other applications. Both the seeds as well leaves of the plant are explored for different applications. The secondary metabolites of A. graveolens have been explored for their biological properties due to its aroma and source of several bioactive metabolites. Here, we have characterized the volatile compounds of A. graveolens from seeds and elucidated their antimicrobial properties. The solvent extraction of fine powder of seeds was performed. The fractions containing different secondary metabolites were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Further, GC–MS analysis of hexane fraction and 70% methanol led to the identification of limonene, cyclohexanone, apiol, tetracontane, β-myrcene and α-pinene whereas the methanol fractioned contained olic acid, hexadecane, hetpacosane, apiol, and octadecane 1-chloro compounds as major constituents.
