Coca-Cola (John Stith Pemberton) Developed as pain rehever less addictive than available opiates, the original Coca-Cola contains cocaine from cola leaves and caffeine from kola nuts. It achieves greater success as a beverage marketed where alcohol is prohibited. 

Packaging Rectified spirit (96% ethanol by volume) is marketed directly for the manufacture of chemicals such as acetic acid, acetone, oxalic acid and absolute alcohol. Denatured ethanol for industrial and laboratory use typically contains 60-95% ethanol as well as between 1% and 5% each of methanol, isopropanol, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), ethyl acetate and so forth. For beverages, the alcohol is matured and blended with malt alcohol (for manufacture of whisky) and diluted to requisite strength to obtain the desired type of liquor. This is bottled appropriately in a bottling plant. Anhydrous ethanol for fuelblending applications (power alcohol) requires concentration of the ethanol to 99.5 wt% purity. The ethanol dehydration is typically done using molecular sieves. 

Vietnam produces more than 50001 of star anise seeds per annum. It is estimated that the combined production of China and Vietnam is more than 25,0001 per annum. In addition, 200-2501 of essential oil are shipped to France and the Czech Republic. In China, which is the largest supplier of star anise to the world market, Vietnamese star anise is blended and then exported to France. In France, it is used as a raw material in the production of alcoholic beverages (FAO, 2003).
