“…The study of taxonomy of BEO is quite complex because of the numerous botanical varieties, cultivar, and chemotypes [ 30 ]. Moreover, a variability due to climatic factors has been described by Milenković et al (2019) [ 31 ], who demonstrated that shade-grown basil plants have a high content of eugenol with respect to plants grown without shading that contain more linalool than eugenol. Olugbade et al (2017) [ 32 ], examined BEO from Sierra Leone and Nigeria; the first was clearly identified as the methyl eugenol chemotype (89.7%), whereas the second was the methyl chavicol (89.8%) chemotype.…”

The essential oil (EO) from basil—Ocimum basilicum—was characterized, microencapsulated by vibration technology, and used to prepare a new type of packaging system designed to extend the food shelf life. The basil essential oil (BEO) chemical composition and antimicrobial activity were analyzed, as well as the morphological and biological properties of the derived BEO microcapsules (BEOMC). Analysis of BEO by gas chromatography demonstrated that the main component was linalool, whereas the study of its antimicrobial activity showed a significant inhibitory effect against all the microorganisms tested, mostly Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, the prepared BEOMC showed a spheroidal shape and retained the EO antimicrobial activity. Finally, chitosan-based edible films were produced, grafted with BEOMC, and characterized for their physicochemical and biological properties. Since their effective antimicrobial activity was demonstrated, these films were tested as packaging system by wrapping cooked ham samples during 10 days of storage, with the aim of their possible use to extend the shelf life of the product. It was demonstrated that the obtained active film can both control the bacterial growth of the cooked ham and markedly inhibit the pH increase of the packaged food.

“…The composition and biological activities of BEOs are highly dependent on the location and environmental conditions [15], chemo types [1], cultivars [16], seasonal variation [17], Agronomy 2021, 11, 1574 2 of 12 different agronomic techniques [18], and different harvesting, drying [19], and processing methods [2].…”

“…Net houses have the potential to create an appropriate microclimate that positively affects plants productivity and quality. The reduction of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) under the colored nets in relation to the open field (full sun light) is different depending on the color of the nets [18]. Light quantity and quality play an important role in the synthesis of EOs.…”

“…Having in mind that differences in BEO composition can result in differences in antimicrobial activity, in this study we evaluated the effects of colored shade nets andharvest time on antimicrobial activity of EOs isolated from plants of sweet basil. The cultivar 'Genovese' was grown under the climatic conditions of south Serbia for which the composition and antioxidant activity was already published by Milenković et al [18] and we compared the BEO antimicrobial activity with commercial antibiotics.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oils obtained from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv. ‘Genovese’) cultivated in the open field under different shading conditions (red, blue, and pearl nets with a shade index of 50% and full sunlight exposure (control plants)), harvested at different times. The antimicrobial activity of basil essential oils (BEOs) obtained from all samples was determined for four microorganisms, while determinations for an additional five microorganisms included samples from non-shaded plants, plants grown under red and pearl nets, and second harvest of plants grown under blue net. Basil essential oil exhibited antimicrobial activity surpassing the activity of relevant commercial antibiotics regardless of growing conditions in the case of B. cereus, K. pneumoniae and C. albicans, while superior antimicrobial activity was exhibited in the case of essential oils from plants grown under blue nets in the case of S. aureus, E. coli and P. vulgaris. The influence of the application of colored shading nets was highly significant (p < 0.01) in the cases of all analyzed microorganisms except C. albicans and P. aeruginosa, while the influence of harvest time was proven in the cases of all microorganisms except K. pneumoniae. ANOVA proved that antimicrobial activities are highly dependent on the methods of plant production, shading treatment, and harvest time. Obtained results are discussed in relation to previously determined composition and yield of essential oils from basil grown under shade nets and harvested in different periods.
