Chicoric acid found in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves
This is the first report to identify the presence of chicoric acid (cichoric acid; also known as dicaffeoyltartaric acid, which is a caffeic acid derivatizedwith tartaric acid) in basil leaves. Rosmarinic acid, chicoric acid and caftaric acid (in the order of most abundant to least; all derivatives of caffeic acid) were identified in fresh basil leaves. Rosmarinic acid was themain phenolic comp...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen fertilization on the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).
Many herbs and spices have been shown to contain high levels of polyphenolic compounds with potent antioxidant properties. In the present study, we explore how nutrient availability, specifically nitrogen fertilization, affects the production of polyphenolic compounds in three cultivars (Dark Opal, Genovese, and Sweet Thai) of the culinary herb, basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.). Nitrogen fertilizat...
متن کاملVariation in the Essential Oils in Different Leaves of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) at Day Time
Essential oil molecules released from fresh leaves of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) were collected in Tenax traps and analysed using a TD-GC/MS. During daytime from 09.00 to 17.00, there were no differences in the content and composition of total essential oils, however the percentage of eugenol increased slightly. Significant differences were found in both the total content and composition...
متن کاملThe content of essential oil in ten sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivars and its composition
The experiment was conducted in the Research Institute of Medicinal Plants in Poznań, Poland in 2005–2006 and concerned a collection of ten sweet basil cultivars such as: ‘Minette’, ‘Mittelgrossblättriges Grünes’, Piccolino’, ‘Rubin’, ‘Red Rubin’, ‘Genoveser’, ’Martina’ and two Polish cultivars: ‘wala’ and ‘Kasia’. Moreover, ‘Lemonette’ cultivar of Ocimum americanum L. was also included in the ...
متن کاملExtraction optimization of mucilage from Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) seeds using response surface methodology
Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40-91 °C); extraction time (1.6-3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1-77:1) was used to study the response for yield. Experimental values for extraction yield ranged from 7.86 to 20.5 g/100 g. Extraction yie...
