原料介紹｜甜茴香 (Fennel sweet)

▎精油簡介

甜茴香Sweet Fennel原生於南歐地中海沿岸，為多年生繖形科植物，喜愛生長在陽光充足，排水良好的地區，適應環境能力強，目前已廣佈於歐洲各國、印度中國與北美。

甜茴香使用歷史悠久，古代戰士常被用來增加勇氣和力量。甜茴香也代表承諾，讓婚姻中的兩個人信守一輩子的承諾。茴香作為藥用和烹飪的歷史可追溯到古埃及時期，希臘人發現茴香可以排水，羅馬人用來幫助腸胃蠕動，還可以去除口腔異味。

除了對消化系統有幫助之外，甜茴香更是女性好朋友，因為內含反式洋茴香腦，當女性生理期或更年期不適，有很好的效用，常被用於印度婦科用藥中。

▎成分解析

典型甜茴香的主要成份為反式洋茴香腦(苯基醚類)，約佔66%-77%。
另外含甲基醚蔞葉酚、1.8-桉油醇、α-松萜烯、檸檬烯、茴香醇、茴香酮、樟腦、洋茴香酮、呋喃香豆素等多種微量成分。

｜成分1：洋茴香腦(Anethole)

｜成分2：甲基醚蔞葉酚(Methyl chavicol )

又稱龍艾腦(Estragole)，是龍艾精油主成分。與洋茴香腦是同分異構物，差別在苯丙基的雙鍵位置不同，功效上會有相似處，但氣味不同。

此成分在龍蒿精油占約 80%；熱帶羅勒精油約85%；芳香羅文莎葉精油（萃取自皮）約90%。
