“…The antibacterial properties of SAO reported by Aly et al. () and Kim, Na, Yi, Kim, and Ahn () may be beneficial for gut microflora composition and could be favorable in healthy gut (Jamroz, Wiliczkiewicz, Wertelecki, Orda, & Scorupinska, ). Therefore, the improvement of nutrient utilization in this study may be caused by the stimulation effect of the SAO on the secretions of the endogenous digestive enzymes, the increased absorption surface area in the intestine, and the modulated microbial composition in the gut.…”

“…Although star anise has been used as spice and herbal medicine for many years, there has been little research on the volatile oil of star anise as a feed additive for improving nutrient utilization of laying hens. Star anise oil (SAO) has positive effects on poultry such as antimicrobial, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐mycotoxigenic, and growth promoting (Aly, Sabry, Shaheen, & Hathout, ; Ciftci, Guler, Dalkilic, & Ertas, ; Mountzouris et al., ). Most of research has demonstrated the antioxidant activities of SAO on broilers.…”

An experiment using 96 Hy‐Line brown laying hens at 29 weeks of age that were randomly allocated to four treatments with eight replicates was conducted to assess the effects of star anise (Illicium verum Hook.f.) oil (SAO) on nutrient and energy utilization. Dietary treatments were corn–soybean meal‐based diets supplemented with 0, 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg SAO. The birds were fed the diets for 14 days. The conventional nutrients and amino acids of feed and excreta samples were measured for calculating apparent metabolic efficiency, and gross energy (GE) was analyzed for computation of apparent metabolic energy (AME) and true metabolic energy (TME). Endogenous losses were obtained from another 16 birds for calculating true metabolic efficiency. Birds supplemented with SAO had higher (p < 0.05) metabolic efficiency of crude protein (CP), organic matter (OM), Lys, Met, Arg, and Thr than those of control group. Quadratic effects on utilization of Lys, Met, and Thr were observed (p < 0.05). Inclusion of SAO to diet improved nutrient utilization, and the efficacy is best at 400 mg/kg.

“…Bhatti et al (2017) concluded that the protocatechuic acid residing in I. verum most probably underlies its antioxidant action. Star anise volatile oil could be applied in different industries, like the cosmetic, the pharmaceutical or the food industry; in the latter it might replace the synthetic antioxidant used nowadays in order to overcome the adverse influence of the synthetic additives on the public health (Aly et al, 2016). Economic and medicinal importance of Chinese star anise is shown in Table 3.…”

“…It has been also reported that the fruit of the plant has been used in traditional medicine for treatment of stomach aches, vomiting, rheumatic pain, insomnia and skin inflammation (Sung et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2011;Estevao-Silva et al, 2014;Park et al, 2015). Aly et al (2014) mentioned that its fruit is an important traditional Chinese medicine as well as a commonly used spice. Mathon et al (2013) high levels of anisatin in Illicium lanceolatum, I majus, and I anisatum may cause health concerns if they are mididentified or mixed with edible Illicium verum.…”

Star anise (Illicium verum Hook. f.) is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine as well as traditional Asian medicine. The fruit is aromatic and has a strong, pungent and mildly sweet taste. Star anise is one of the many species that contain bioactive compounds as well as a number of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, having antioxidant, preservative and antimicrobial properties. All relevant papers in the English language from researchers of different countries were collected. The keywords of Chinese star anise, anise, traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmaceutical science were searched in Google Scholar, Scopus, Research Gate and PubMed. Its seeds are good source of minerals like calcium, iron, copper, potassium, manganese, zinc, and magnesium. The essential oil of Chinese star anise contains anethole which has shown several functional properties including antimicrobial, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and oestrogenic properties. Due to all positive characteristics, such as antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant activities, anticancer and antimicrobial properties, both seeds and essential oils of anise is promising for safe use as super food supplements and raw constituents in the both pharmaceutical and food industries. Anise seed oil contains anethol, estragole, eugenol, pseudisoeugenol, methyl chavicol and anisaldehyde, coumarins, scopoleting, umbelliferon, estrols, terpene hydrocarbons, and polyacetylenes as the major compounds. The plant oil has both pharmacological and clinical effects. The pharmacological effects consist of antimicrobial, hepatopreotective, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, bronchodilator, estrogenic, expectorant and insecticidal effects, and clinical effects such as nausea, constipation, menopausal period, virus, diabetes, obesity and sedative action. Combined with a nutritious diet, other traditional Chinese and Asian medicine, Chinese star anise and ansie seed may improve various aspects of health. More clinical studies are necessary to uncover the numerous substances and their effects in ginseng that contribute to public health. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2019, 5(3): 162-179

“…Among all of them, the anethole compounds are responsible for its characteristic taste. Besides, compounds like α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, α-phellandrene limonene, γ-terpineol, linalool, α-terpineol, estragole, trans-anethole, α-cubebene carryophyllene oxide, and α-humulene present in the essential oil of SA are also reported to have contained a number of biological activities (Aly, Sabry, Shaheen, & Hathout, 2016;Luís et al, 2019;Wang, Hu, Huang, & Qin, 2011). In addition, a number of procedures have been established for the extraction of the bioactive compounds from this plant species, and, among which, the hydro-distillation, steam distillation, solvent extraction, supercritical fluid CO 2 extraction, hydro-distillationheadspace solvent microextraction, and microwave-assisted extraction process are the most common ones (Rocha & Candido Tietbohl, 2016).…”

Medicinal herbs are one of the imperative sources of drugs all over the world. Star anise (Illicium verum), an evergreen, medium-sized tree with star-shaped fruit, is an important herb with wide distribution throughout southwestern parts of the Asian continent. Besides its use as spice in culinary, star anise is one of the vital ingredients of the Chinese medicinal herbs and is widely known for its antiviral effects. It is also the source of the precursor molecule, shikimic acid, which is used in the manufacture of oseltamivir (Tamiflu ® ), an antiviral medication for influenza A and influenza B. Besides, several other molecules with numerous biological benefits including the antiviral effects have been reported from the same plant. Except the antiviral potential, star anise possesses a number of other potentials such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insecticidal, secretolytic, antinociceptive, antiinflammatory, gastroprotective, sedative properties, expectorant and spasmolytic, and estrogenic effects. This review aimed to integrate the information on the customary attributes of the plant star anise with a specific prominence on its antiviral properties and the phytochemical constituents along with its clinical aptness.
