    Product Description

    (E)-Anethol is a phenylpropanoid that has been found in P. anisum seed oil and has antifungal and antioxidant activity.1,2,3 It is active against fermentatively growing S. cerevisiae under hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions (MIC = 100 µg/ml), and against C. parapsilosis when used at a concentration of 15% w/w.2,3 (E)-Anethol has antioxidant activity in a Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay but does not scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazel (DPPH) radicals in a cell-free assay.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
