At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD, we understand that the efficacy of our natural ingredients is rooted in their chemical composition. Star Anise Essential Oil (CAS No. 8007-70-3) is a prime example, renowned for its complex profile, with anethole being its most significant constituent. This deep dive explores the chemical richness that makes our Star Anise Essential Oil a prized ingredient across various industries.

The dominant component in Star Anise Essential Oil is trans-anethole, often comprising 80-90% of the oil's composition. Anethole is an organic compound responsible for the oil's characteristic sweet, licorice-like aroma and flavor. Its presence is what gives star anise its distinctive sensory qualities, making it invaluable in the food and fragrance industries. The high concentration of anethole in our product ensures a potent and authentic aromatic experience.

Beyond anethole, Star Anise Essential Oil contains a spectrum of other valuable chemical compounds that contribute to its overall profile and potential benefits. These can include smaller percentages of compounds like limonene, cineole, and pinene, which add subtle nuances to the scent and can influence its properties in different applications. While anethole is the star, these secondary components play a role in the oil's complexity and stability.

The steam distillation process used by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD is crucial for preserving this delicate chemical balance. This method ensures that the volatile compounds, including anethole, are captured effectively, resulting in a high-purity essential oil. When you buy star anise essential oil from us, you are acquiring a product that represents the natural chemical integrity of the star anise seed.
