Anise extract
Description
Anise extract (CAS 84775-42-8), derived from Pimpinella anisum, delivers the characteristic sweet, licorice-like flavor and aroma profile used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Sourced from the seeds of the anise plant, it concentrates the volatile and non-volatile constituents into a standardized, application-ready form for industrial use.
In food and beverage production, it flavors confectionery, baked goods, liqueurs, and digestive spirits where a clean anise note is required for the final product profile.
Oral care formulators incorporate it into toothpastes, mouthwashes, and breath-freshening products for both flavor and consumer-recognizable scent in daily hygiene applications.
In personal care, it functions as a fragrance component in soaps, lotions, and hair care formulations targeting herbal or botanical positioning for natural product lines.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it to mask unpleasant tastes in syrups, lozenges, and chewable tablet formulations, improving patient compliance and overall product palatability.
Anise extract is supplied as a liquid, typically in propylene glycol, alcohol, or oil-based carrier systems depending on the target application and solubility requirements.
Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are available, with some suppliers offering standardized concentrations aligned with FCC or internal quality benchmarks for bulk procurement.
