Dill extract

Dill extract (CAS 90028-03-8), also referenced under FEMA 2384, is a concentrated botanical derived from Anethum graveolens used to deliver characteristic dill flavor and aroma across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

It captures the herb's signature profile, which is herbaceous, slightly anise-like, and fresh, in a form suitable for precise dosing in commercial formulations. In food manufacturing, it functions as a flavoring agent in pickled products and sauces.

It is also used in dressings, snack seasonings, and ready-meal preparations where consistent flavor delivery is required at scale. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skincare and haircare products for its antioxidant activity.

This supports shelf-life extension and helps in positioning products toward natural ingredient claims. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical contexts, it is used as a botanical flavoring to mask unpleasant tastes in oral formulations.

Processed meat and dairy applications also utilize dill extract to standardize flavor profiles across production batches. Dill extract is supplied as a liquid extract, oleoresin, or dry powder, depending on the intended application.

Food-grade and natural-certified variants are the most commercially prevalent, with some suppliers offering organic-certified material aligned with EU and NOP standards. Solvent-based and CO₂ extraction methods produce distinct flavor profiles.

Buyers typically specify extraction type based on end-product labeling requirements. This ensures that the final product meets all necessary regulatory and quality benchmarks for the specific industry and target market.
