About
Star Anise Food Fragrance is a food-grade aroma oil from the dried fruit of Illicium verum, diluted in fractionated coconut oil (MCT) and supplied in a 10 mL amber glass bottle with a fine-mist spray head. The odour is sweet, warm and intensely anisic, with a liquorice-like body.
Functional Properties
Anethole dominates the essential-oil fraction at a minimum of 80 % and carries almost all of the odour, so very small additions are already effective. Limonene (max. 5.0 %) and linalool (max. 3.0 %) round the top note without lifting it out of the anisic register. Estragole occurs naturally and is limited to a maximum of 6.0 %; observe the estragole limits applicable to your product category and market.
Quality
By GC-FID area normalisation the specified constituents total at least 90 % and identified compounds at least 95 %. Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are below detection limits, and the microbiological panel complies with the specification. A clear, colourless to pale-yellow mobile liquid, insoluble in water; shelf life 24 months.
