Definition
An aromatic compound with a sweet, spicy licorice flavor found in plants like anise, fennel, and star anise, widely used in food and cosmetics.
Etymology
From 'anet' (dill) + '-ole,' a variant ending indicating an aromatic alcohol compound. Sometimes spelled 'anethol,' both refer to the same naturally occurring chemical.
Kelly Says
Anethole is used in everything from pastis (French liqueur) to toothpaste, and here's the wild part—it actually changes flavor perception: the same molecule can taste like different things depending on what else you're eating with it!
