Abstract: The preparation of anisaldehyde by ozonolysis reaction from star anise oil was studied. The single-factor extraction tests and Box-Behnken design were employed to determine the optimum technological condition. The optimal experiment parameters are: reaction time 21 min, reaction temperature 8.45 ℃, two solvents ratio 4.27:1 (g/g). Confirmatory experiment results showed that the yield is up to 73.6% under above-mentioned conditions.

Key words: star anise oil, anethole, anisaldehyde, ozone oxidation, response surface analysis
