Star anise-flavored food flavoring is a savory spice flavoring primarily formulated with star anise oil (whose main component is anethole), possessing a complex “sweet-spicy” characteristic. It is most widely used in meat products, instant noodles, and compound seasonings. In terms of exports, Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as the Middle East and the European Union, are the main buyers.
Star anise flavoring is a condiment made from star anise, primarily used in cooking to enhance the aroma of dishes. It is commonly used in braised, stewed, and simmered dishes, as well as in the production of five-spice powder. The amount used is usually small and should be adjusted according to the ingredients and the broth; it is generally recommended to use less rather than more. It is also advisable to soak the star anise before cooking to remove any bitterness and avoid overuse.
