Abstract

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), one of the most widely used culinary herb, have a long history of use and mostly cultured in Belgium, France, Bulgaria, Hungary, India, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United States. The origin of basil is known as the countries of India, Iran, and Africa. Traditionally, the use of basil as a medicinal plant is for the treatment of headaches, anxiety, nerve pain, repellent for mosquitoes, and kidney malfunction. Essential oils extracted from herbs can be used as aroma additives in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Basil has several chemotypes or cultivars that result from an ease of crossing and genetic polymorphism. Thus, the morphological and chemical variability of the basil composes large chances for growing different cultivars of this valuable herbal plant and differs in their essential oil compositions. Major essential oil components were methyl chavicol (estragole), linalool, methyl eugenol, and methyl cinnamate. Basil genotypes obtained from different regions of the world are significantly different in all morphological traits and chemical composition of the essential oil. The purpose of this study was to investigate the essential oil components, biological activities, and some medicinal applications from a genetically improved basil genotype.
