Physikalische Eigenschaften
Depending on the growing site and production conditions, the essential oil obtained by distillation may exhibit completely different organoleptic and physical–chemical characteristics. Well-known types include (1) the Réunion
type produced in the Comoros Islands, (2) the Mediterranean type or true sweet basil, (3) the Bulgarian or methylcinnamate types,
and (4) the phenolic type from Java. The Réunion and Mediterranean type are discussed under Derivatives. The phenolic type of
basil (Ocimum gratissimum) is readily distinguished from true sweet basil by the presence of approximately 60% eugenol and some
thymol in the essential oil.
Occurrence
Found in the leaves of Ocimum basilicum L.
