Abstract

|
Composition of volatile flavor components of sweet, purple and bush basil grown in hydroponic system was investigated by GC and GC/MS. The major component of three species of basil oil were linalool, methyl-chavicol, eugenol and caryophyllene. The most component in basil oil was linalool. But significant differences were observed in essential oil yield and relative concentration of major constituents among the plant species. Sweet basil had the most yield of essential oil among three species of basils, while bush basil the least. Sweet basil contained much more monoterpene than sesquiterpene, however sesquiterpene content in purple and bush basil increased than that of in sweet basil. The highest content of vitamin C and chlorophyll were found in sweet basil, which had the lowest nitrate content.
