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...

Background: Ocimum basilicum L., commonly known as sweet basil, is an important aromatic plant cultivated in many parts of the world for its essential oil. Basil does not show natural distribution in Turkey but they are cultivated as medicinal, seasoning or oil plants especially in the western and southern Anatolia. In this study, introduction of new production patterns of green and purple basi...

Titanium dioxide was used as a photocatalyst to decompose interfering substances for a quantitative analysis of a fungicide (iprodione) in dry basil by HPLC. A quartz vial containing basil extract and titanium dioxide was irradiated with black light. The interfering substances were almost completely decomposed by 180 min of irradiation, whereas 88.3% of iprodione remained. The recovery of iprod...

The present work was aimed to develop an antiseptic cream formulation of Indian basil oil utilizing hydrophilic-lipophilic balance approach. In order to determine the required-hydrophilic lipophilic balance (rHLB) of basil oil, emulsions of basil oil were prepared by phase inversion temperature technique using water, Tween 80, and Span 80. Formulated emulsions were assessed for creaming (BE9; 9...

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...

Live migration of virtual hard disks between storage arrays has long been possible. However, there is a dearth of online tools to perform automated virtual disk placement and IO load balancing across multiple storage arrays. This problem is quite challenging because the performance of IO workloads depends heavily on their own characteristics and that of the underlying storage device. Moreover, ...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Demand for fresh-market sweet basil continues to increase, but in 2009 a new pathogen emerged, threatening commercial field/greenhouse production and leading to high crop losses. This study describes a simple and effective staining method for rapid microscopic detection of basil downy mildew (Peronospora belbahrii) from leaves of basil (Ocimum basilicum). • ...

One of the reasons why Web APIs are more used to consume open data compared to SPARQL endpoints is the expertise required to use the query language. Therefore, a tool for sharing and reusing existing real queries could help developers on adopting Linked Data. We propose BASIL, a cloud platform that supports sharing and reusing SPARQL queries. In BASIL, loaded queries generate Web APIs that can ...

in order to study radiation use efficiency and radiation interception in intercropping of herb sweet basil and common bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran for the growing season of 2008. treatments were 1) sole crop of bean , 2) sole crop of sweet basil, 3) strip intercropping of bean and sweet basil (four rows bean and two...

Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), one of the most popular cultivated herbs worldwide, displays a number of varieties differing in several characteristics, such as the color of the leaves. The development of a reference transcriptome for sweet basil, and the analysis of differentially expressed genes in acyanic and cyanic cultivars exposed to natural sunlight irradiance, has interest from horticul...
