Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) is an annual aromatic branched herb and uses as leafy vegetable.
The study was conducted during 2009. The study evaluated that the different packaging material was done with and without open pore space area, to check its effectiveness in extending the shelf life of dill. Control sample lost its green color and aroma on 4th day where as HDPE with 3 pores retains the color and aroma maximum during storage. The percentage weight loss of HDPE (3P) samples was only 3.5 %. Its total chlorophyll content was recorded to be 10.47 mg/100 g. This study showed that leafy vegetable could be stored by using modern technique of packing for reduction of the qualitative and quantitative losses.
