The potential of three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) - Glomus mosseae, G. fasciculatum and G. intraradices- to enhance the production of essential oil and plant growth parameter was investigated in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum). The AMF inoculation significantly increased plant height, fresh and dry matter yield, oil content and oil yield as compared to non-inoculated basil plants. Essent...

In this study, the effect of basil seed gum (BSG) on the stability and rheological properties of egg white albumin (EWA) emulsions was investigated. A constant amount of EWA (0.5% w/v) and different concentrations of BSG (0-0.3% w/v) were used for the manufacture and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions (30% w/w). The results showed that by increasing BSG concentration, the storage (21 days)...

Fresh herbs such as basil constitute an important food commodity worldwide. Basil provides considerable culinary and health benefits, but has also been implicated in foodborne illnesses. The naturally occurring bacterial community on basil leaves is currently unknown, so the epiphytic bacterial community was investigated using the culture-independent techniques denaturing gradient gel electroph...

introduction: basil (ocimum basilicum l.) is an annual herbaceous plant that belongs to lamiaceae family. this plant is native of india country and other countries in south of asia. nowadays, the use of water superabsorbent polymers is increased in agriculture and their role in reducing the drought stress and increasing the crops production has been demonstrated in many researches. superabsorbe...

Hydroponic sweet basil (O. basilicum L.) farming uses a recirculating nutrient solution that may spread waterborne microbial contamination including algae. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, generates antimicrobial reactive oxygen and nitrogen species when exposed to water. The objective this work was study effect plasma-treated water-based on plant growth in reduction Basil plants were grown ...

Selasih (Ocimum basilicum) and chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) are plant-based sources that have a unique characteristic of being able to form gel when hydrated because they poly-saccharide layer can bind water. The purpose this study was characterize selasih seed, Indo-nesian indigenous basil compared seeds which been widely studied. characteri-zation leads functional properties for health the...
