Anethole (also known as anise camphor) [2] is an organic compound that is widely used as a flavoring substance. It is a derivative of the aromatic compound allylbenzene and occurs widely in the essential oils of plants. It is in the class of phenylpropanoid organic compounds.

Anethole is a monomethoxybenzene that is methoxybenzene substituted by a prop-1-en-1-yl group at position 4. It has a role as a plant metabolite. Anethole has been reported in Malus, Asarum epigynum, and other organisms with data available. View More... 1-methoxy-4- [ (E)-prop-1-enyl]benzene.

Jun 12, 2017 · Anethole, formally 1-methoxy-4- [ (1 E)-prop-1-en-1-yl]benzene, is an anisole derivative that is the major constituent of the oils of anise (Pimpinella anisum), star anise (Illicium verum), and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). Also known as “anise camphor”, it is used as a flavoring and aroma agent.

Anethole is the main fragrance and bioactive compound of anise, fennel, and star anise spices and more than other 20 plant species. It is widely used as flavor agent in food industry and other industries, in cosmetics, perfumery, and pharmaceuticals.

Anethole is a monoterpene position isomer and it is the main constituent of essential oils from aromatic plants including anise, star-anise, and fennel (12, 15). Anethole is used in food and pharmaceutical industries and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA-US) has issued its safety certification (12).

Also known as Anise Camphor, Anethole is the major constituent of the oils of Anise (Pimpinella Anisum), Star Anise (Illicium Verum), and Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare). Widely used as a flavouring and aroma agent, Anethole is a staple of the flavours and fragrances sector.

Anethole (1-methoxy-4-propenyl-benzene, isoestragole) (ANT) (Fig. 7.3) is an alkoxypropenylbenzene derivative and an important bioactive component of the essential oils of more than 20 plant species.

Cis-anethole is the cis-stereoisomer of anethole. cis-Anethole has been reported in Scandix australis, Dictamnus albus, and other organisms with data available. See also: Anise Oil (part of); Anethole (annotation moved to).

Anethole (or trans -anethole) is an aromatic compound that accounts for the distinctive "licorice" flavor of anise, fennel, star anise, and anise myrtle. It may also be referred to as p-propenylanisole, anise camphor, isoestragole, or oil of aniseed. It is unrelated to glycyrrhizic acid, the compound which makes licorice taste sweet.

Anethole is a substance found in various plants and has two isomers, cis-anethole (CA) and trans-anethole (TA). Currently, the food industry extensively use anethole as an aromatic and flavoring component.
