Article Abstract
Different drying methods hot air (HA), 50 °C, 58-63% relative humidity (RH); low humidity air (LHA), 50 °C and 28-30% RH; and radiofrequency (RF), 50 °C, 56-60% RH) were investigated for efficient dehydration of dill (Anethum graveolens) greens with optimal retention of color and constituents. The drying for HA and RF was marginally higher (∼ 22%) compared to HA. Lightness, greenness and yellowness of LHA dried sample were higher than those of the RF and hot-air dried dill greens. Aqueous methanolic extract of dill greens dehydrated by LHA method exhibited higher anti-oxidant activity. Forty-two compounds were identified representing ∼ 85% of the volatile oil and the major volatile compounds for fresh and dried dill leaf oil were α-Phellandrene, α-cymene, α-pinene, Apiol, 1,6-Cyclodecodiene, and 1-methyl-5-methylene. Dehydrated dill greens with their constituent polyphenols, carotenoids, ascorbic acid and minerals have been shown good consumer acceptance as well as shelf life and could serve as a valuable food additive to enhance human nutrition.

Heavy metal contamination in food has become a significant global food safety concern. This study assessed the concentrations of As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, K, Mg, Na, Ni, Se, Pb, and Zn in 13 locally grown vegetables using microwave-assisted acid digestion and ICP-MS. The potential human health risks associated with their consumption were also evaluated.

In this study, a new fluorescence-based analytical method for the determination of darifenacin (DFN) in pharmaceutical formulations using alumina nanoparticles (NPs) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is presented. The alumina NPs were synthesized by a green method using Anethum graveolens (extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The NPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Carvone is an important flavoring substance and widely used in the food and chemical industries. Carvone has two optical isomers (L-carvone and D-carvone), which have different aroma characteristics. However, the green extraction of natural carvone and isolation of chiral carvone present challenges, leading to its limited application.

Continuous exploration of innovative and sustainable solutions within green chemistry is imperative to tackle challenges inherent in traditional production processes. This study examined three novel methods for obtaining polyphenolic extracts from dill seeds: nonthermal high voltage electric discharge (HVED), subcritical water extraction (SWE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). SWE was conducted at temperatures ranging from 100 to 200°C under 30 bar pressure, while MAE utilized a hydroethanolic solvent at temperatures from 40 to 120°C.
