Common Nametrans-Anethol
DescriptionTrans-Anethole, also known as E-Anethole, Anise camphor or simply Anethole belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles. These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. It is also classified as a phenylpropene. There are two known Anethole isomers including Trans- and Cis-anethole. The more abundant isomer, and the one preferred for use, is the trans or E isomer. Trans-Anethole is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is not water soluble. Anethole has a sweet, anise, licorice aroma. 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. It is a widely used food additive and fragrance agent. Anethole is found in a number of different foods and spices such as anises, star anises, fennels sweet basils, dills, and sweet marjorams. Anethole has also been detected, but not quantified in, common oregano, cumins, white mustards, pepper (spice), and caraway. Trans-Anethole is also one of many non-cannabinoid phenols that are found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). Anethole has potent antimicrobial, nematicidal and antifungal activities (PMID:11807977 , 17078111 , 18944489 ).
