Sweet Fennel Oil
Fennel Essential Oil is derived from the dried seed of Anise, scientifically known as Pimpinella Anisum by way of steam distillation. Originally native to the Middle East, it has now found its way to various regions across the globe, including the USA, Europe, and North America, where it is cultivated commercially. Fennel oil is pale yellow in colour, has a thin consistency and a distinct liquorice aroma.

Grade B: Near to Natural Oils (NNO): adulterated with natural components or similar oils, meeting various industry standards like ISO, C14, physical constants, organoleptic, and chirality. still relatively costly.
Grade C: Reconstituted Oils (RCO): blends of natural and synthetic, may not pass tests like C14 and chirality, they meet ordinary GCMS testing and ISO standards.
Grade D: Perfume Quality Oils (PQO): similar fragrances added to imitate original aroma Trained individuals, easily recognised, fails all tests. very inexpensive.
LABORATORY TESTING **
Standard testing is done by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.
About 60% of adulterated oils cannot be detected by standard testing.
Additional testing methods are Chirality Testing, Isomeric Testing, Marker Compound Testing, Component Ratio Evaluation and others.
Ask us if all or some of these tests have been performed for your selection of oils. We offer customs testing as needed for larger orders .
