para-Anisidine (p-anisidine), a grey-brown solid, is the most toxic[5] of the three isomers of anisidine and causes blood damage upon oral ingestion, inhalation or skin contact. If heated strongly, it may release very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.

p-Anisidine reacts with secondary oxidation products such as aldehydes and ketones in fats and oils to form products that absorb at 350 nm wavelength of light; therefore, it is used as an official method for detecting them by the American Oil Chemists' Society.[6] It is particularly good at detecting unsaturated aldehydes, which are the ones that are most likely to generate unacceptable flavors, making it particularly useful in food quality testing.[7]
