Anise fruit yields on distillation from 2.5 to 3.5 per cent. of a fragrant, syrupy, volatile oil, of which anethol, present to about 90 per cent., is the principal aromatic constituent. It has a strong Anise odour and separates in the form of shining white crystalline scales on cooling the oil. Other constituents of the fruit are a fixed oil, choline, sugar and mucilage.

Aniseed is native to the Middle
East and the Romans used it in little cakes that they ate at the end of their
banquets. Aniseed is traditionally used with vegetables that can be
indigestible such as cabbage, onion, cucumber, carrot, turnip and beetroot..
Aniseed is used to flavour many alcoholic drinks such as Pernod, Greek ouzo and
mastikha, anesone from Italy and the French drink, pastis. Apart from that it
have several pharmaceutical and ayurvedic properties. In India, it is widely
used in Pickels since ancient times.
Anise enjoys considerable
reputation as a medicine in coughs and pectoral affections. In hard, dry coughs
where expectoration is difficult, it is of much value. It is greatly used in
the form of lozenges and the seeds have also been used for smoking, to promote
expectoration.
The volatile oil, mixed with
spirits of wine forms the liqueur Anisette, which has a beneficial action on
the bronchial tubes, and for bronchitis and spasmodic asthma, Anisette, if
administered in hot water, is an immediate palliative.
The flavor and aroma of
its seeds have similarities with some other spices, such as
star anise, fennel, and liquorice. Anise oil is a good antiseptic and is
used, mixed with oil of Peppermint or Gaultheria (Wintergreen) to flavour
aromatic liquid dentrifrices.
