Fennel Oil Flavor — food-grade, available in 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg packaging
What Is Fennel Oil Flavor?
Fennel Oil Flavor is a concentrated aromatic ingredient extracted and refined from fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.). It delivers the characteristic sweet, herbaceous, slightly spicy note that food and beverage developers rely on when natural fennel character is required without the bulk of raw botanical material.
The primary active constituent is trans-anethole (typically 60–80%), which is responsible for the product's recognizable anise-like warmth. Secondary notes include fenchone and estragole, contributing depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile.
Unlike synthetic flavor compounds, our Fennel Oil Flavor is manufactured from botanical-origin raw materials and is compatible with clean-label declarations, making it a practical choice for brands navigating increasingly scrutinized ingredient lists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Fennel Oil Flavor and fennel essential oil?
Fennel essential oil is a direct steam-distilled or cold-pressed oil used primarily in aromatherapy and cosmetics. Fennel Oil Flavor is a food-grade variant that has been processed, standardized, and safety-assessed for use as a food ingredient. It meets food additive regulations and is sold with full food-safety documentation. Not all essential oils are food-safe at functional dosage levels — our Fennel Oil Flavor is.
What is the recommended use level in food products?
Use levels vary significantly by application: in beverages, typical dosage is 20–100 ppm; in bakery and confectionery, 50–200 ppm is common; in processed meats, 100–500 ppm. We recommend starting with our suggested range and adjusting based on your specific product matrix and target flavor intensity. Our technical team can assist with initial trials.
Is a free sample available before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We offer 5–50 g evaluation samples for qualified buyers. Sample requests are reviewed by our sales team. The sample itself is complimentary; the buyer covers courier charges. Typical turnaround from request to shipment is 3–5 business days. Contact us here to initiate a sample request.
Can Fennel Oil Flavor be used in water-based formulations?
Fennel Oil Flavor has limited direct water solubility due to its oil-phase nature. For water-based applications (beverages, clear syrups), it must first be emulsified using a compatible food-grade emulsifier (e.g., polysorbate 80, modified starch) or dissolved in a carrier such as propylene glycol or ethanol before addition. We can supply a pre-emulsified water-soluble version on request.
What certifications does the product carry?
Our Fennel Oil Flavor is produced in a GMP-certified facility and conforms to China's national food additive standard GB 2760. It is listed under FEMA GRAS (Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association). A Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and HACCP documentation are provided with every commercial order. Halal and Kosher certificates are available for qualifying purchase volumes.
How should Fennel Oil Flavor be stored?
Store in a tightly sealed, opaque container in a cool, dry location below 25°C and away from direct light and heat sources. Avoid contact with oxidizing materials. Under these conditions, shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture. After opening, reseal immediately and use within 6 months for optimal aromatic quality.
What is the lead time for large orders?
For stock quantities (up to 25 kg), orders are typically dispatched within 3–5 business days after payment confirmation. For larger custom production runs (100 kg+), lead time is 10–20 business days depending on raw material availability and QC schedule. We recommend placing large orders with at least 3 weeks' advance notice to guarantee production allocation.
