Fennel Seed Water Soluble Extract | Saunf

Fennel Seed Liquid Extract retains chlorogenic and rosmarinic acid with quercetin glycosides from Foeniculum vulgare seed. Anethole and estragole are the volatile markers of fennel oil, and estragole carries use restrictions in several markets — aqueous extraction recovers neither in quantity. Specify bitter or sweet fennel; the varieties differ measurably. Fennel Seed Water-Soluble Extract — known as Saunf in Hindi and Sombu in Tamil (Foeniculum vulgare).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Fennel Seed?
Most buyers use it in digestive liquid formulations, beverage bases and seasoning premixes. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
