Edible Fennel Essence: The Key to Unlocking Oriental Flavours

Edible fennel essence, with its unique spicy and herbal aroma, has become a key ingredient in the food industry for enhancing flavours. Carefully selected Egyptian fennel and Chinese star anise are processed using molecular distillation combined with microencapsulation technology, preserving natural aromatic components such as trans-anethol (60%-75%) and pinene, and precisely recreating the multi-layered flavour profile of fennel—spicy, sweet, and warm.

Core Technology and Flavour Advantages

1. Natural Flavour Replication: Through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the anise aroma profile, the golden ratio of top notes (pinene), middle notes (trans-anisole), and base notes (anisic acid ester) is simulated, achieving 98% flavour authenticity;

2. Stable and Enhanced Process: Microencapsulation technology enables controlled release of aromatic components, extending fragrance retention time to 10 hours and improving fragrance retention rate by 70% after high-temperature baking;

3. Health-Focused Formula Upgrade: Raw materials sourced from non-GMO fennel seeds, Halal-certified, with no added artificial flavours, meeting Clean Label requirements.

Diverse Application Scenarios

- Baked goods: Adding 0.15% to bread premix powder enhances unique aroma while improving product antioxidant properties (DPPH scavenging rate reaches 62%);

- Seasoning series: Used in five-spice powder and braised meat seasonings to enhance flavour complexity, increasing consumer preference by 45%;

- Health Drinks: Added to herbal tea and plant-based milk (at a 0.08% concentration) to mask the bitterness of artificial sweeteners, achieving a taste score of 4.7/5;

- Frozen Foods: Used in dumpling and bun fillings to remove fishy odours and enhance aroma, increasing repurchase rate by 38%.
