OPTIMIZATION OF HIGH-CONCENTRATION TRANS-ANETHOLE PRODUCTION THROUGH HYDRODISTILLATION OF STAR ANISE
Abstract Illicium verum Hook essential oil (EO) is composed mainly of trans-anethole (TA), which has therapeutic potential. The extraction is usually by hydrodistillation, taking long hours, leaving the process costly and product with lower quality. Thus, the present study sought to optimize dehydra...
