VITAMIN PROPERTIES OF ANETHUM GRAVEOLENS L

Abstract

This article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the beneficial, therapeutic, and physiological properties of Anethum graveolens L. (dill) based on scientific literature and experimental studies. Within the scope of the research, the historical use, morphological characteristics, chemical composition, and biological activity of dill were systematically investigated. The analysis of scientific literature demonstrated that the plant is rich in essential oils, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins, and mineral substances. In particular, carvone and limonene present in the essential oil were identified as the main biologically active components.

In addition, the content of water-soluble vitamins in Anethum graveolens was determined and quantitatively evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The obtained results showed that riboflavin (vitamin B₂) was present in the highest amount, while ascorbic acid (vitamin C), pyridoxine (vitamin B₆), and folate (vitamin B₉) were detected at moderate levels. In contrast, thiamine (vitamin B₁) and niacin (vitamin B₃) were found in very low amounts. The results were compared with previously published scientific studies, and similarities as well as differences were analyzed.

The obtained scientific data confirm that Anethum graveolens exhibits antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and metabolism-regulating properties. Overall, Anethum graveolens L. can be considered a promising natural raw material for applications in phytotherapy, pharmaceuticals, and the development of functional food products.
