“…Our results showed a significant cultivar-dependent response for mineral accumulation, in agreement with the findings of Licina et al (2014) , who compared the mineral composition of different basil genotypes. The positive lower nitrate accumulation recorded in “Aroma 2” emphasizes the genotype’s key role in accumulating this potentially risky dietary compound for human health ( Colla et al, 2018 ).…”

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is an economically important leafy vegetable especially in Mediterranean countries. In Italian gastronomy, the large elliptical leaves of the Genovese type are mostly used for the well-known pesto sauce, and almost all (>90%) professional production is for the food industry. The growing demand for fresh leaves with standardized technological and sensory characteristics has prompted basil producers to adopt advanced cultivation methods such as the floating raft system (FRS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive, qualitative, and physiological performance of three Genovese basil cultivars (“Aroma 2,” “Eleonora,” and “Italiano Classico”) in two successive harvests and at two densities (159 and 317 plants m–2). Caffeic, chicoric, rosmarinic, and ferulic acid were determined through the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, whereas the extraction and quantification of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were performed by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). “Aroma 2” showed the highest fresh yield and photosynthetic rate together with the lowest nitrate content. For all the tested cultivars, the higher density, while reducing the number of leaves per plant, resulted in higher fresh and dry production per unit area, without altering the aroma profile. Successive harvests resulted in a significant increase in both the yield (37.5%) and the total phenolic acids (75.1%) and favored Eucalyptol and 1-octen-3-ol accumulation (+25.9 and +15.1%, respectively). The here presented comprehensive and multifactorial assessment of the productive and qualitative response of basil provides evidence of the positive effects (from biomass to specialized metabolites) that can be obtained from the management of the pre-harvest factors in soilless cultivation. In addition, it also highlights the role and constraints of the genetic factor in the observed response. We also discuss the implications of our work considering the impact for the food processing industry. Future research may explore the phenolic acids accumulation as a possible fortification means to extend the pesto sauce shelf life, reducing the need of added antioxidants and thermal processing.

“…This was reflected in the relatively high standard deviations and the remarkable differences between the mean and the median of the elemental contents (Tables 5-6). Similar results were reported by other studies for different spices [17,19,23,[25][26]. This variability is usually explained in terms of the effects of various ecosystems on the elemental levels at different regions.…”

“…The results are in harmony with previous studies [71][72][73], which mentioned that aroma components of basil oil differ according to cultivation practices, chemotype, and season effect. Additionally, the detected essential oil compounds by GC/MS analysis are in harmony with previous studies [74,75].…”

A split-plot design field trial was carried out on Ocimum basilicum L. plants at Siwa Oasis, Egypt, during the 2018 and 2019 seasons to study the effect of organic fertilization, cultivation of some foreign varieties, and their combination on yield. The main plots included applying two compost manure levels before planting (24 and 48 m 3 /hectare). Subplots included cultivating five basil varieties (local and four foreign varieties: lime basil, smuglyanka basil, purple basil, and purple ruffles basil). The results revealed that applying compost manure at the highest level significantly increased herb and oil yield attributes over the lowest level. The evaluation of varieties showed that the purple ruffles and purple varieties were the most tolerant to abiotic stresses and recorded the significantly maximum herbage and oil yield. The essential oil chemical composition was affected by the interaction within treatments and harvest time. Applying 48 m 3 compost/hectare and cultivation of foreign purple variety should be recommended in this region to produce the best yield quantity and quality characteristics (oil of high linalool of 50.95%-75.01% and minimum estragole of 0.00%-0.02%, as well as attractive flavor and color) which could promote exports.
