Abstract
Several methods of extraction of volatile oils from the Pimpinella anisum L. seeds were experimented, and the best method was determined when the seeds were soaked with organic solvents at room temperature. The hexane is considered a goodsolvent to extract total and volatile aniseed oil. The following physical and chemical properties of extracted aniseed oil were studied: refractive index, density, acidity, acid value, moisture, volatile substances, saponification value and absorptivity in ultraviolet UV. It was found that aniseed oil is cannot be used as cooking or food oil.The long-term stability was studied for aniseed. It was found that the main total quantity of aniseed oil and its components was decreased interval of time.
