Anethum graveolens fruit extract exhibits typical properties of essential oil extracts from Apiaceae seeds, including a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds that contribute to its characteristic herbal aroma and flavor profile. The extract is generally a clear to slightly colored liquid at ambient temperature, with solubility favoring organic solvents due to its hydrophobic constituents. Key physico-chemical behaviors affecting formulation include its volatility, which influences scent release and persistence, as well as chemical stability under normal storage conditions. These properties support its incorporation in flavor and fragrance matrices where a fresh, green, and herbal note is desired.
