Assay of anisatin (sesquiterpene lactone)

Anisatin is a neurotoxic compound extracted from Japanese star anise (Illicium anisatum), a toxic plant often confused with Chinese star anise (Illicium verum).
Analytical testing for anisatin (a sesquiterpene lactone) is essential to ensure food safety and avoid botanical confusion.
Matrices analyzed: plant extracts, spice powders, herbal teas, and suspect essential oils.
Analytical techniques: LC-MS/MS, HPLC with UV or DAD detection.
