anise seed concrete

Anise seed concrete is a fragrant extract derived from Pimpinella anisum fruit with a distinctive anise odor used in fragrance formulations.

General Material Description

Anise seed concrete is a botanical concretion derived from the fruit of Pimpinella anisum, commonly known as anise. This material appears as a semi-solid extract with a characteristic strong anise scent, reminiscent of licorice. The concrete contains aromatic compounds responsible for its distinctive odor profile and serves mainly in fragrance applications. Often referred to by synonyms such as anise concrete, aniseed concrete, or pimpinella anisum fruit concrete, it is chemically rich and extracted through solvent methods. For chemical reference, see its PubChem entry. Sourced from the ripe fruits of the Pimpinella anisum plant, this concrete captures the essence of the seed's aroma in a concentrated form.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

Anise seed concrete originates from the natural fruit of the Pimpinella anisum plant, which is widespread in the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. Its occurrence is limited to this botanic source and it concentrates the aromatic compounds characteristic of anise. The material finds primary applicability in the fragrance industry, where it imparts a sweet, warm, and familiar anise odor to perfume compositions and scented products. Due to regulatory guidelines, such as those from IFRA (Global), it is not recommended for flavoring or food use. Its potential uses remain focused on perfumery and aroma compound research.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

The physical state of anise seed concrete is a viscous, waxy solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature, facilitating its incorporation into fragrance bases. Chemically, it contains numerous volatile and semi-volatile constituents responsible for the anise scent. The material's aromatic profile is stable under typical storage conditions but may be sensitive to heat, light, or oxidation, requiring proper handling to maintain olfactory integrity. Its solubility in common fragrance solvents allows compatibility with various formulation systems. The concrete's consistency and refractive qualities contribute to ease of use in perfumery blends.

FAQ

What is anise seed concrete and how is it related to Pimpinella anisum?
Anise seed concrete is a concentrated extract derived from the fruit of the Pimpinella anisum plant, commonly known as anise. It is obtained by solvent extraction of the ripe seeds or fruits, resulting in a semi-solid material that captures the plant's aromatic profile. This concrete carries the distinct anise odor, which is reminiscent of licorice and is characterized by sweet and warm fragrance notes.
How is anise seed concrete used and where does it naturally occur?
Naturally, anise seed concrete comes from the fruit of the Pimpinella anisum plant, a species native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Southwest Asia. It is predominantly used within the fragrance industry as a scent ingredient to impart its characteristic anise aroma. The concrete is not used for flavoring purposes due to regulatory recommendations. Its application is mainly limited to perfumery and aromatic product formulations.
Are there safety or regulatory considerations for using anise seed concrete?
Anise seed concrete is classified with no hazards under OSHA's 29 CFR 1910 (OSHA HCS) standard, indicating it lacks significant intrinsic toxicities under this regulation. According to the IFRA Code of Practice (Global), its use as a flavoring agent is not recommended, limiting its application primarily to fragrance products. No specific hazard or precautionary statements apply, but users should observe general good manufacturing practices and avoid unintended exposures.
