About Product

Fennel Oleoresin is derived from the dried seeds of Foeniculum vulgare, a flowering plant in the carrot family. Known for its hardy nature, fennel is a perennial herb with yellow blossoms and fine, feathery leaves. Native to the Mediterranean coastline, it now thrives globally—including in the U.S., France, India, and Russia—especially in dry, coastal soils and riverbanks.

At Agrawal exports, via contract manufacturing we utilize advanced Super Critical Fluid Extraction (SCFE) technology—an eco-friendly, green extraction method—to obtain this potent oleoresin. The result is a light green to green semi-solid with a sweet, spicy, and woody aroma. Its moderate strength and rich chemical composition—including phellandrene, methyl chavicol, anethole, limonene, pinene, fenchone, fenchyl alcohol, and anisaldehyde—make it a highly versatile product.
