8007-70-3 - Nature:
is a plant essential oil extracted from the ripe fruit of the Magnoliaceae plant star anise (commonly known as anise). Below 20 ℃, it is colorless to light yellow oily liquid with special aroma of fennel. When the temperature drops, there will be Flake crystal precipitation, and the freezing point is about 15 ℃. The relative density is 0.979~0.987, the refractive index is 1. 5525~1.5600, and the specific rotation is -2. ~ 2.. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform and other organic solvents.
8007-70-3 - Preparation Method:
It is mainly extracted from the mature dried fruit of star anise, and the yield can reach 8%~ 12%. If extracted from fresh fruit, the yield is generally 2%~ 3%.
8007-70-3 - Use:
The content of anethole in star anise oil is over 80%, and the highest content is 95%. It is the most basic raw material for extracting anethole. In addition, star anise oil as a natural flavor can be directly applied to the food industry and daily chemical industry.
