Anethole manufacturer, Trans-Anethole supplier

Anethole (Trans-Anethole, CAS No.104-46-1) also known as anise camphor, Anethole is an organic compound that is widely used as a flavoring substance. It is a derivative of phenylpropene, a type of aromatic compound that occurs widely in nature, in essential oils. It is in the class of phenylpropanoid organic compounds.

Anethole is distinctly sweet, measuring 13 times sweeter than sugar. It is perceived as being pleasant to the taste even at higher concentrations. It is used in alcoholic drinks ouzo, rakı, anisette and absinthe, among others. It is also used in seasoning and confectionery applications, oral hygiene products, and in small quantities in natural berry flavors.

Here’s a detailed look at the uses of anethole and trans-anethole:

• Flavoring Agent: Both compounds have a sweet, licorice-like taste, making them popular in the food and beverage industry. They flavor candies, chewing gum, liqueurs (e.g., ouzo, sambuca), and baked goods. They’re also used in low-calorie products as a sugar alternative.
• Pharmaceutical Applications: Anethole improves the taste of medicines like cough syrups and supports digestion due to its mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It’s common in oral health products like toothpaste.
• Cosmetics and Perfumery: Trans-anethole adds a sweet scent to perfumes, soaps, and dental products. Its antibacterial properties enhance oral care items.
• Insect Repellent: Anethole naturally repels insects like mosquitoes, making it a safe, eco-friendly choice for pesticides and repellents.
• Aromatherapy: Its calming aroma is used in essential oils to promote relaxation and reduce stress.

These compounds are safe in regulated amounts, though excessive use may cause mild allergies in some cases. Their versatility and natural origins make them vital across multiple industries.
