Chemical Information
FooDB Namecis-Anethole
DescriptionAnethole belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles. These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. Anethole is a sweet, anise, and balsam tasting compound. Anethole is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as anises (Pimpinella anisum), star anises (Illicium verum), and fennels (Foeniculum vulgare) and in a lower concentration in tarragons (Artemisia dracunculus), dills (Anethum graveolens), and corianders (Coriandrum sativum). Anethole has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as herbs and spices, common oreganos (Origanum vulgare), sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), rosemaries (Rosmarinus officinalis), and ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum). This could make anethole a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Anethole.
