The volatile oil is obtained by steam distillation from the crushed mature fruit of Anthemum sowa (Indian type). It has
a harsh caraway-like odor and flavor. This oil differs in its physical properties, odor and flavor from the European and American dill
seed oil.
It is a yellow to light-brown liquid, soluble in most fixed oils and mineral oil, occasionally with
slight opalescence. It is sparingly soluble in propylene glycol and practically insoluble in glycerin.
