About This Product

Fennel Oleoresin

Fennel oleoresin is a full-spectrum extract of premium Gujarat bold green fennel seeds — capturing both the volatile oil fraction (20%+, dominated by trans-anethole at 70%+) and the fixed oil fraction in a single concentrated extract. It delivers the characteristic sweet, anise-like, slightly warm character of quality Gujarat saunf — in a convenient, standardised, particle-free liquid form.

PAX Herbal uses S1 Bold Green Gujarat fennel as feedstock — the highest quality commercial grade with naturally elevated anethole content. Fenchone content is controlled below 5% — fenchone is a bitter, camphor-like compound that at higher levels detracts from the clean sweet anise character. Our fennel oleoresin is EU MRL compliant and GC/MS profiled per batch.

Common Questions

Buyer FAQs

Trans-anethole is the primary aromatic compound in fennel essential oil — responsible for the characteristic sweet, clean anise flavour. At 70%+ trans-anethole, our fennel oleoresin meets food and pharmaceutical quality standards. The trans- isomer is the acceptable food-grade form — the cis- isomer is a minor toxic compound monitored in quality testing.
Fenchone is a ketone compound found in varying levels in different fennel types. In high amounts (>10%), it gives an unpleasant bitter, camphor-like note that detracts from the clean anise character. For sweet fennel applications (liqueurs, confectionery, food), buyers specify <5% fenchone. Bitter fennel (higher fenchone) is used in specific traditional pharmaceutical applications.
Sweet fennel (our standard grade): 70%+ anethole, <5% fenchone — clean, sweet anise character for food and beverage. Bitter fennel: 60%+ anethole, 15–25% fenchone — more medicinal, slightly bitter character used in traditional pharmacopoeia preparations (notably German Commission E approved).
MOQ is 25 kg. Samples available for flavour testing and GC/MS specification matching.
