ANISE MATERIAL AREA

The Vietnamese anise plant’s English name is Illicium Verum.

The anise tree is a type of woody plant, 6 – 12m tall for mature trees, appearing widely in the mountains of Northern Vietnam and Southern China. The tree has green leaves all year round. Each tree produces 80-100kg of fresh fruit every year and this lasts for 40-50 years.

Anise plants are not only found in Lang Son but are also grown in some other mountainous provinces in Northern Vietnam such as Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Quang Ninh… and some localities in China. However, due to nature’s favorable climate and soil characteristics of the locality, Lang Son Anise products are still considered to be the products with the best quality, high and special essential oil content. No toxins (trans-anethole content is always above 85%)

Anise trees usually harvest ripe fruit in September or April, each crop lasting 3-4 months. Normally, an anise tree must be at least 5 years old to get its fruit. It can only be harvested twice a year, so this is considered a “rare” item.

ANETHOLE PRODUCTION

Anethole is produced by fractional distillation of anise essential oil. This is a typical technique used to separate volatile substances from mixtures. The operating principle is based on the change in boiling temperature of the substances in the mixture because each substance will have a different boiling temperature. The volatile matter will be condensed.

After fractionally distilling anise essential oil at VIPSEN, the Anethole content in the finished product is up to 99%, completely natural, safe for human health.
