Experimental design

1. Please explain the rationale for selecting 27C and 90C as extraction temperatures.

Additional comments

The authors are advised to consider putting figures 2, 5, and 6 into the supplemental information. A more concise visualization layout would highlight the key messages conveyed in the study.

Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

The manuscript presents an investigation of the bioactive metabolites present in the extract of dill leaves. However, the manuscript can be improved for clarity and magnify the figures according to the style of the journal.

Experimental design

The study design and experimental procedures are unclear and need references.

Validity of the findings

Results are valid, but the tables or figures summarizing key findings would aid in interpreting the data and enhance the reader's understanding. Figures need magnification. Authors should keep in mind the style of the journal

Additional comments

Authors should update the references of the manuscript, and English language is poor

Reviewer 3 ·

Basic reporting

- Language must be improved where several sentences are not readable and complicated.
- The paragraphs in the article must be properly formatted.
- The references appear to be generally well-formatted, but they need some adjustments to ensure consistency in style. Here are some notes:
- Year placement: Sometimes, the year appears right after the names, and in other cases, after the title. It should consistently follow the authors’ names.
- Title formatting: Some titles are written in all capital letters (Capitalized), while others use lowercase. It is best to follow a consistent style, such as capitalizing only the first word and proper nouns.
- Journal and periodical names: Some references use abbreviated journal names, while others use full names. Standardize this throughout.
- Formatting of volume and page numbers: Some references have extra spaces or inconsistent symbols when listing page numbers and volumes.
- DOI formatting: Some references present DOI as a direct link, while others provide only the number. It is best to use a consistent format.

Experimental design

- Why did you choose two variables in this study?
- What is the rationale behind selecting these specific time intervals: 2 min, 1 h, and 2 h for the time variable in this study?
- Please add the collection site of dill.

Validity of the findings

- The accuracy of the image Figures in the article should be improved.
