Formerly known as Backhousia anisata and Anetholea anisata, the anethole chemotype of the botanically reassigned Syzygium anisatum can be used as a flavoring agent in foods and beverages. Like many other plants with similar flavor qualities it acts as a digestive aid and carminative. Low amounts will suffice in most formulations as it has a very high odor and flavor intensity. Much like licorice, it is used as an expectorant and it is best added to other oils to complement and potentiate other medicinal activities. It may be used in the fragrance industry as a substitute for anise or fennel aroma.
“Anethole is regarded as an antiseptic, bactericide, cancer-preventative, carminative, dermatogenic, expectorant, fungicide, gastrostimulant and insecticide” (Webb). It lowers the sympathetic nervous system response, allowing for a greater sense of relaxation.
The methyl chavicol chemotype is toxic at high doses in mice. It is “an anesthetic, anticonvulsant, myorelaxant, cancer-preventative, fungicide, antispasmodic, a carminative and stabilizes the sympathetic nervous system, hence its antispasmodic qualities” (Webb).
Results from a study done in 2005, show that essential oils from this and other Australian plants may be valuable antimicrobial agents for use alone or incorporated into cosmetics, cleaning agents and pharmaceutical products (Wilkinson).
