Abstract:
The methods for obtaining simultaneously essential oil and shikimic acid from star anise
fruit (Illicium verum Hook) were investigated. From obtained results, we chose a simple and
effective method for desired purpose. With this method, distillation of essential oil and extraction
of shikimic acid were simultaneously carried out in the round bottom flask of the Clevenger
apparatus. The yield of essential oil and shikimic acid were 9.5% and 5.6% (r.m), respectively as
well as the quality of the products is very good.
