In France, it is the custom before a meal to partake of an aperitif, usually an aniseed-flavoured spirit called pastis. Pastis (e.g. Ricard , Pernod ) when it comes out of the bottle is a clear, light brown coloured solution of volatile oils from the seeds of the anise plant (Pimpinella anisum), which impart the characteristic aniseed flavour to the drink, dissolved in approximately 40% v/v ethanol. When a pastis is drunk, it is mixed with water and ice, whereupon the liquid becomes cloudy. This happens because the anise oils are hydrophobic, non-polar liquids and not very water-soluble. They are only held in solution by the high alcohol content of the drink. When the alcohol is diluted with water, the oils come out of solution and form an emulsion of oil droplets in the aqueous phase. This is what gives the drink its cloudy appearance. Oral solutions of anise oils have been used pharmaceutically for their carminative action and as an aid to digestion for many years, although it seems to this author preferable to consume anise oils in the form of a pastis, rather than in the form of a bottle of medicine. 

The so-called Onzo effect is a self-emnlsification method that occurs when water is added to a dilnte binary solntion of a solnte whose solnbility in water is very small (e.g., anise oil) in a water-miscible solvent (e.g., ethanol). Most of the solnte rapidly come out of solution and a dispersion of small droplets in a snrronnding liquid phase is formed without the use of surfactants, dispersing agents, or mechanical agitation [40-43]. For certain solnte, solvent, and water ratios, relatively stable dispersions of very small solnte droplets are formed, showing typically a log-normal size distribntion. 

The creamy suspension is allowed to cool to room temperature, and the electrodes of a pH meter are inserted (Note 4). A solution of 20.5 g. (0.15 mole) of zinc chloride (Note 5) in 75 ml. of water is added dropwise with vigorous stirring over a period of 45 minutes, while the pH is maintained at 7 by the simultaneous dropwise addition of a 4A aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (Note 6). The mixture is stirred for 1 hour and is then filtered with suction the solid product is dried under reduced pressure over phosphorus pentoxide. The dry material is slurried with 200 ml. of petroleum ether (b.p. 30-60°), and the solvent is decanted. This process is repeated five times, and the combined extract is evaporated at reduced pressure. The yield of almost pure -chlorophenyl isothiocyanate, obtained as a readily crystallizing oil with a pleasant anise-like odor, is 33-35 g. (65-68%), m.p. 44-45°. The product can be recrystallized from the minimum amount of ethanol at 50°.
