Cloudy

If someone can find a good source, it might be worth mentioning that anethole is much more soluble in alcohol than in water, which is what causes absinthe and ouzo to turn cloudy when diluted with water. --Delirium 00:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Una Smith (talk) 04:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Room temperature

07/05/2008 The expression "room temperature" is a bit vague, what does it mean? thanks!

Room temperature is usually understood to be 25 °C. -Rifleman 82 (talk) 20:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed reference to "room temperature". The page on German WikiPedia corresponding to Talk:Ouzo effect has several remarks about how if chilled anise-flavored alcohols can precipitate crystals of anethole, like flakes in a snowglobe. Pretty image...it would be really nice to have a photo demonstrating it. --Una Smith (talk) 04:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Snow globe

The precipitation of anethole crystals is of concern to consumers, and some web sites advise against chilling or freezing anise-flavored liquors. It is claimed the crystals do not easily redissolve. These crystals in suspension may be confused with the ouzu effect; evidently a photo used on German wikipedia does that (see this). Can anyone shed further light on this? Or provide a photo that clearly shows the crystals? --Una Smith (talk) 03:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know?

This article has been nominated to appear in the Did You Know? pane on Main Page, with the following hook. --Una Smith (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

... that anethole, cause of the ouzo effect (pictured) in anise-flavored alcoholic beverages, yields a derivative drug that may be used in novel self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems?

cis or trans? or mixture / (E)-isomer or (EZ)-mixture?

The structural formulae in the box shows the trans-isomer [(E)-isomer]. The CAS no. [104-46-1] is related to the (EZ)-mixture. Best regards, --Jü (talk) 20:17, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The current article say both exist in nature but the E isomer is more common. So, showing the E isomer and giving the CAS for both seems like a good idea.--Smokefoot (talk) 22:43, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
