“…These results are in line with our work, however, the quantitative compositions of such chemicals may vary. Joshi and Si [ 46 ] and Murarikova et al [ 12 ] described that variation in the qualitative and quantitative chemical profiles of the basil essential oil may be due to the variety of plant and their growing conditions such as season, climate or soil conditions. There was also some chemical variability of the essential oil of plants belonging to the Lamiacea family but within the same species, the major constituents can be similar [ 47 , 48 ].…”

The research objectives of this study are to analyse the volatile compositions of different basil types available in Thai markets and to descriptively determine their aromatic qualities. Essential oils were hydro-distillated from fresh leaves of two Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) varieties namely, white and red and other basil species, including Tree basil (O. gratissimum), Thai basil (O. basilicum var. thyrsiflorum), and Lemon basil (O. citriodorum). Oil physiochemical characteristics and volatile chromatograms from Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to qualitatively and quantitatively describe the chemical compositions. Estragole, eugenol, and methyl eugenol were among the major volatiles found in the essential oils of these basil types. Classification by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) advised that these Ocimum spp. samples are grouped based on either the distinctive anise, citrus aroma (estragole, geranial and neral), or spice-like aroma (methyl eugenol, β-caryophyllene, and α-cubebene). The essential oils were also used for descriptive sensorial determination by five semi-trained panellists, using the following developed terms: anise, citrus, herb, spice, sweet, and woody. The panellists were able to differentiate essential oils of white Holy basil from red Holy basil based on the intensity of the anisic attribute, while the anise and citrus scents were detected as dominant in the Lemon basil, Tree basil, and Thai basil essential oils. The overall benefit from this research was the elucidation of aromatic qualities from Thai common Ocimum species in order to assess their potential as the raw materials for new food products.

“…Medicinal properties of Ocimum species belongs to mint or lamiaceae family are known for thousand years to various civilizations of the world [1][2][3][4] through Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani systems of medicine. [5][6][7][8][9] In the Indian subcontinent, in Ayurveda and Indian mythology, it is commonly called as Tulsi means "matchless one" or "incomparable one" and considered as a sacred plant representing Holy Hindu Laxmi Goddess. [10][11][12] All parts of this plant species are of major medicinal use.…”

Plant material (Ocimum americanum, Ocimum basilicum) was purchased from local nursery of district Amravati from Maharashtra. Plant material (Ocimum kilimandscharicum, Ocimum gratissimum, Ocimum sanctum) was purchased from Nagarjun Garden Dr. P.D.K.V. Akola. Identification and authentication was made from H.O.D, Botany department, Government Vidarbha Institute of science & Humanities, Amravati (Maharashtra) Phamacognostic evaluations Macroscopic evaluation Macroscopy of whole plant was studied by observing the organoleptic characters such as color, odor, size, shape, taste and special features including touch and texture etc. Organoleptic evaluations can be done by means of organs of special sense which includes the above parameters and thereby define some specific characteristics of the material which can be considered as a first step towards establishment of identity. 25-26 Microscopic evaluation Microscopic evaluation is very helpful in the initial identification of herbs as well as in detection of adulteration by characteristics tissue features. Every plant possesses a characteristics tissue structure which can be demonstrated through study of tissue arrangement, cell walls and configurations, when properly mountain in stains, reagents and media. Thus it determines the size, shape, and relative structure of different cell Microscopical parameters ABSTRACT There are about 150 species of Ocimum in the world and out of that 68 species are found in India. Comparative pharmacognostic study of these Ocimum species is unspecified. Growing demand of Ocimum plants demands quality standards for correct identification of desired Ocimum species. Objectives: Hence aim of present study is to establish comparative pharmacognostical, phytochemical and biological standards for most commonly found and morphologically confusing five species of Ocimum. Methods: Macroscopic, microscopic, preliminary phytochemical evaluations, extraction of essential oils, TLC analysis, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potency of selected five species carried out and compared. Results: This comparative study reports that O. sanctum should be preferred in medicine use among selected five species based on phytochemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial potency.

In the traditional system of medicine Ocimum sanctum Linn. is used to cure diseases like dysentery, bronchitis, malaria, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, arthritis, skin diseases, painful eye diseases, chronic fever. The essential oil obtained by using hydrodistillation of the leaves of Ocimum sanctum Linn. (purple variety) is collected throughout 1 y and analyzed employing gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector and gas chromatography connected with mass spectrometry. The yield of essential oil varied in the range from 0.14 to 0.21 % (w/w). 23 to 39 constituents were identified which represented 95.39±0.38 % of the total oil. The most abundant compound was identified as methyl eugenol with an average of 69.88±0.09 % with varying quantities from 55.48±0.36 to 76.78±0.54 %. The other constituents were beta-caryophyllene 10.40±0.06 %, alpha-ylangene 4.18±0.04 %, gamma-muurolene 3.64±0.04 % and borneol 2.02±0.01 %. The oil was found to be rich in phenylpropanoid (71.98±0.27 %) type constituents (average of 12 mo). A high amount of methyl eugenol (76.78±0.54 %) was observed during November while low (55.48±0.36 %) in April. It was noticed that when the plant was matured in April the accumulation of sesquiterpenes increased and phenylpropanoids decreased.
