Congress Abstract

Fennel is the fruit of Foeniculum volgare in the family Umbelliferae. And fruit is commonly used for its expectorant, antispamodic, carminative and diuretic properties.

In this study, we determined the chemical composition of the volatile fractions obtained from fennel fruits. The main conponents were trans-anethole, p-anisaldehyde and estragole. The assay specifications have been suggested with trans-anethole and p-anisaldehyde as active compounds in Foeniculum volgare. We have anlayzed identification test and assay specification about 64 samples. In the result of analysis, we have established the content standard of trans-anethole for Foeniculum volgare in Korean Pharmacopoeia.
