“…The mean ratio of bergamot oil produced in Reggio Calabria has been reported to be approximately 0.3, 7,8 whereas the ratio of bergamot oil from other countries is generally higher, because the linalool content is richer (range 10-20%). 8,15 The level of γ-terpinene and β-pinene was also considerably high, as reported previously.…”

The volatile components of bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso) essential oil produced in Reggio Calabria in Italy were investigated using GC, GC-MS and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). Fifty-five compounds in the oil were identified by GC and GC-MS. The major compounds were limonene (37.2%), linalyl acetate (30.1%), linalool (8.8%), γ γ γ γ γ -terpinene (6.8%) and β β β β β-pinene (6.2%). In sensory analysis, odour description and flavour dilution (FD) factors of each component were evaluated by GC-sniffing and aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA). Bergamot-like odour components were (Z)-limonene oxide, decanal, linalyl acetate and geraniol. A mixture of eight other components, such as limonene, linalool, γ γ γ γ γ -terpinene and others, in addition to the four bergamot-like aroma compounds, brought about an aroma model of bergamot odour with the similarity of 7.1 by the nine-point-score sensory test.

“…Basil has the innate ability to discourage herbivory when insects are not abundant; therefore, it can be used as an alternative to chemical pest control (Olson and Bidlack 1997). Basil oil, extracted via steam distillation from the leaves and other parts of the plants, is used to ßavor foods, dental and oral products, and a fragrance in traditional rituals and medicines (Simon et al 1990, Kirbaslar 2001. Basil oil contains bioactive constituents that are insecticidal (Deshpande and Tipnis 1977, Chogo and Crank 1981, Chavan and Nikam 1982, Keita et al 2001, Salvatore et al 2004, repellent (Maganga et al 1996, Tawatsin et al 2001, Paula et al 2004, Popovic et al 2006, nematicidal (Chatterje et al 1982), fungistatic (Reuveni et al 1984), or antimicrobial (Nitezurubanza et al 1984).…”

Basil oil and its three major active constituents (trans-anethole, estragole, and linalool) obtained from basil (Oscimum basilicum L.) were tested on three tephritid fruit fly species [Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett)] for insecticidal activity. All test chemicals acted fast and showed a steep dose-response relationship. The lethal times for 90% mortality/knockdown (LT90) of the three fly species to 10% of the test chemicals were between 8 and 38 min. The toxic action of basil oil in C. capitata occurred significantly faster than in B. cucurbitae but slightly faster than in B. dorsalis. Estragole acted faster in B. dorsalis than in C. capitata and B. cucurbitae. Linalool action was faster in B. dorsalis and C. capitata than in B. cucurbitae. trans-Anethole action was similar to all three species. Methyl eugenol acted faster in C. capitata and B. cucurbitae than in B. dorsalis. When linalool was mixed with cuelure (attractant to B. cucurbitae male), its potency to the three fly species decreased as the concentration of cuelure increased. This was due to linalool hydrolysis catalyzed by acetic acid from cuelure degradation, which was confirmed by chemical analysis. When methyl eugenol (B. dorsalis male attractant) was mixed with basil oil, trans-anethole, estragole, or linalool, it did not affect the toxicity of basil oil and linalool to B. dorsalis, but it did significantly decrease the toxicity of trans-anethole and estragole. Structural similarity between methyl eugenol and trans-anethole and estragole suggests that methyl eugenol might act at a site similar to that of trans-anethole and estragole and serve as an antagonist if an action site exists. Methyl eugenol also may play a physiological role on the toxicity reduction.

“…The conversion increased from 16 to 65% over an increment of 458 at a residence time of less than 20 s. The activation energy was determined to be 31.26 kJ/mol, and the corresponding frequency factor was 18.81 Â 10 12 (m 3 ) 2 kmol À2 s À1 . Kinetic data from literature show that the activation energy using IERs for the same reaction was 45-120 kJ/mol [28,29]. Rapid site accessibility and very low internal diffusion resistance during convective flow led to high reaction rate constants.…”
