Metabolite Identification
Common NameAnethole
DescriptionAnethole belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anisoles. These are organic compounds containing a methoxybenzene or a derivative thereof. Anethole is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Anethole is a sweet, anise, and balsam tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Anethole is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as anises, star anises, and fennels and in a lower concentration in peppermints, wild celeries, and corianders. Anethole has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as nutmegs, cumins, lemon balms, common thymes, and herbs and spices. This could make anethole a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The cis-stereoisomer of anethole.
