“…é um subarbusto nativo do Brasil cujos principais constituintes químicos são óleos essenciais, taninos, saponinas e pigmentos (Pinto et al 2000). O óleo essencial é constituído principalmente de metil-eugenol, metil-chavicol, trans-anetol e cis-anetol e cariofi leno (Vieira & Simon 2000;Moraes et al 2002;Paula et al 2003). O uso medicinal contra gripe utilizado na comunidade Muribeca pode ser confi rmado por outras indicações populares.…”

“…The use of fresh basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) in food, phytotherapic industry, and in traditional therapeutic is frequently reported (Vieira & Simon, 2000;Miele et al, 2001aMiele et al, , 2001b. This interest is due to the presence of essential oil in superficial glands and trichomes (Gang et al, 2001), whose main components can be eugenol, methyleugenol, linalool, methylchavicol, or 1,8-cineole, depending on factors as chemotype, growth conditions and plant developing stage (Bahl et al, 2000;Lewinsohn et al, 2000;Nacar & Tansi, 2000;Vieira & Simon, 2000;Miele et al, 2001aMiele et al, , 2001b.…”

Nevertheless, just as other leafy herbs, basil can not be kept for long periods after harvest and the essential oil content and quality can be reduced during postharvest.…”

“…However, the antimicrobial activity of Ocimum essential oil against microorganisms has been investigated by some researchers (Prasad et al 1986;Nakamura et al 1999;Adebolu & Oladimeji 2005;Adigüzel et al 2005;Moghaddam et al 2011; using different techniques and their investigations mostly covered one individual or two species. Unfortunately, the published data on the former subject are difficult to compare, because the chemical composition of essential oils is known to vary with the local climate, harvest period, and environmental conditions (Vieira & Simon 2000), and is also dependent on the type of solvent used in the extraction procedure (Cu et al 1989). Therefore, the present study is aimed at evaluating the in vitro antibacterial activity of essential oils and methanol extracts of five species of Ocimum, namely Ocimum basilicum L., Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke, Ocimum gratissimum L., Ocimum canum Sims., and Ocimum tenuiflorum L. (green type) against the selected microorganisms.…”
