content analysis | determined by gas chromatography (GT-10). The conditions used are: the column length is 160cm, the inner diameter is 2mm, and the material is glass. The filler is polyethylene glycol 20M(Carbowax 20M),15%; The carrier is 60/80 mesh diatomite (Chromosorlb W),85%. The carrier gas is helium with a flow rate of 50ml/min. Flame ionization type for detector. The injection temperature is 230 ℃. The column temperature isothermal section is 130 ℃/3min, the temperature rise rate is 3.5 ℃/min, and the final temperature is equal to 230 ℃. The cis isomer flows out first. Finally, calculate the content by area percentage (including the percentage of cis isomers). |
toxicity | Adl 0~0.6 (tentative; FAO/WHO circle 1999). GRAS(FDA,§ 182.60,2000). LD502090mg/kg (rat, oral). |
usage limit | FEMA(mg/kg): soft drink 11; Cold drink 2 candy 340; Baked food 150; Gum sugar 1500; Wine 1400. |
use | GB 2760-1996 provisions are allowed to use food. Mainly used for seasoning wine, gum sugar, etc. Hexanestrol, intermediates of cholavhe, raw materials for the production of anisaldehyde. Spices, pharmaceutical preparation excipients, etc. A naturally occurring phenylpropylene derivative, with the characteristics of estrogen at low concentrations, and cytotoxic to cancer cells at high concentrations. This cytotoxicity is related to the metabolism of trans-anethole to 4-hydroxy-1-propenylbenzene. |
production method | essential oils (such as fennel oil) with high anise brain content are separated alone. It is formed by the reaction of p-cresol and formaldehyde and then condensation with acetaldehyde. |
