Anethole Oil is a natural aromatic compound and essential oil isolate distilled from anise, fennel, or star anise, presenting as almost colourless when pure. Anethole is the primary flavour and fragrance molecule responsible for the characteristic sweet, licorice-like aroma of anise, fennel, and star anise — making it one of the most important flavour materials in both the food and fragrance industries. Its intensely sweet, warm, spicy-herbal character is widely used as a natural flavouring agent and as a fragrance component in personal care and home care products.
Applications:
- Fragrance (personal care fragrances, home care scents, herbal and spicy fragrance accords)
- Flavouring (anise and licorice-flavoured food and beverage products)
