angelica root — cultural role: Angelica is listed as a main source of the bitterness of bitter liqueurs from various regions, such as Chartreuse, amaro and Fernet, together with gentian, wormwood, hyssop, anise, caraway, yarrow, bitter orange and cinchona.contextual

Scope: A sentence in a review describing the bitterness characteristics of bitter liqueurs (amaro, Fernet, Bénédictine and others). It does not state the species (whether Angelica archangelica or not) or whether the part is the root.

Note: A 1-sentence statement in the overview of a review; the strength of the bitterness of angelica, its components and sensory evaluation are not given. It is not a primary measurement.

The review states verbatim 'Although their bitter profiles vary, they are typically dominated by gentian, wormwood, angelica, hyssop, anise, caraway, yarrow, bitter orange, and cinchona.' 'Their' refers to the bitter aperitifs and digestifs listed immediately before (Chartreuse, Bénédictine, amaro, Fernet, Campari, Jägermeister, Underberg, Becherovka, Angostura, Peychaud's and others). The original text only lists brands and does not state the strength of the bitterness of angelica.
Limitations: The bitterness of angelica alone was not measured. The basis for 'typically' lies in reference 32, and reference 32, the cited source, has not been checked.
