Abstract
The oil isolated by hydro-distillation of the flowering aerial parts of Ocimum basilicum cv. Opal in an all glass Clevenger-type apparatus gave light-yellowish oil with yield of 0.53% (W/W) based on dry weight. Twenty-one compounds were identified in our investigation in the oil of purple basil cv. Opal. The major components were found to be linalool (49.41%), methyl chavicol (19.41%), 1,8-cineole (13.70%), epi-α-cadinol (2.60%) and eugenol (2.20%).
