In this study, samples from three different treatment groups\u2014 thermosonicated (TS-DJ), control (CDJ), and thermally pasteurized (P-DJ) were compared in terms of key parameters such as total chlorophyll content, total phenolic content (TPC), iron reducing capacity (FRAP), and <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-carotene. Additionally, a controlled <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> digestion system was used to analyze the stability and recovery rates of bioactive substances and volatile aroma compounds at different stages of the digestion process (gastric, oral, and intestinal phases). The findings revealed that thermosonication was highly effective in preserving the bioactive components both at the initial level and during the 21-day storage period and significantly increased their post-digestion bioaccessibility levels. Optimization of application parameters was achieved using a combination of Equilibrium Optimization algorithms and Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and the resulting prediction models were validated with high statistical confidence. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations among <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-carotene, characteristic volatile compounds, and total phenolic compounds. This suggests that the increase in these bioactive compounds may be directly related to the improvement in the aroma profile of dill juice. The data obtained indicate that thermosonication may offer an effective alternative to conventional thermal treatments in enhancing the functional quality of dill juice and its post-digestive bioaccessibility. However, further studies are needed to assess its potential for consumer acceptance and industrial integration. In this context, the study reveals important findings that will help develop new technologies for processing plant-based beverages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2025.1666391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,22]],"date-time":"2025-09-22T04:13:00Z","timestamp":1758514380000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Thermosonication-enhanced bioaccessibility and functional quality of dill juice: an in vitro digestion approach"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Seydi","family":"Y\u0131km\u0131\u015f","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdullah","family":"Ate\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Selinay","family":"Demirel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Okan","family":"Levent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazl\u0131","family":"Tokatl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazan Tokatl\u0131","family":"Demirok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moneera O.","family":"Aljobair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emad","family":"Karrar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suleiman A.","family":"Althawab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isam A.","family":"Mohamed Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e54242","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.54242","article-title":"Screening of the leaf extracts of culinary herbs (Apium graveolens, Petroselinum crispum, Cichorium endivia, and Anethum graveolens) for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli","volume":"16","author":"Lnu","year":"2024","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5570","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/5535570","article-title":"Antioxidant and anticancer efficacies of Anethum graveolens against human breast carcinoma cells through oxidative stress and caspase dependency","volume":"2021","author":"Al-Oqail","year":"2021","journal-title":"Biomed Res Int"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1072","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpcardiol.2021.101072","article-title":"Anethum graveolens L.
