“…The results of the GC-MS analysis showed that one of the secondary metabolites present in O. gratissimum essential oil is indeed methyl eugenol. Additionally, other studies reported that O. gratissimum essential oil contains around 54% methyl eugenol [13,21,22]. Methyl eugenol serves various roles, including its involvement in sexual communication and aggregation [23], source of food for male fruit flies [24], its power attracts male flies [25], increases copulation of male flies, source of protein, and reduces stored female sperm (due to exposure to male flies contains methyl eugenol [26,27].…”

Ocimum gratisimum, well-adapted to arid regions in East Nusa Tenggara, has essential oil that attracts fruit flies, pest important affecting crops like mango and jackfruit. This study aims to assess the impact of O. gratisimum essential oil on the diversity of fruit flies on these plants. The essential oil, source from leaves of O. gratisimum, was obtained from the Bioscience Laboratory of the University Nusa Cendana, East Nusa Tenggara, Kupang, Indonesia. It was applied to mango and jackfruit plants in Baumata Village, Taebenu District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. For experiment, total of 0.2 µL of O. gratisimum essential oil was carefully placed on a cotton swab, which was subsequently positioned within traps constructed using 1.5-L mineral bottles. The results of this study indicated that the essential oil extracted from O. gratisimum leaves had the capacity to attract Bacrtocera umbrosa and Bactrocera dorsalis flies when applied on mango plants. In case of jackfruit plants, the traps successfully lured B. umbrosa, B. dorsalis, and Bactrocera musae. This attraction contains methyl eugenol in the oil derived from O. gratisimum.

The genus Ocimum (Lamiaceae) is distributed all over the world and can be found in many environments. Ocimum species is a rich source of various phytochemicals including tannins, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, phytosterols, and policosanols. These phytochemicals have the potential to significantly impact human health. The economic importance of Ocimum is also evident; Ocimum oil and its constituents and derivatives are used as flavoring agents throughout the world in food, pharmaceutical, herbal, perfumery, and flavoring industry. The important advantages of Ocimum plants in various treatments are their safety besides being less expensive, efficacy and availability throughout the world. This paper will focus on the biological effects of Ocimum essential oils, with particular attention on the molecular mechanism underlying their action.

The essential oil (EO) from basil—Ocimum basilicum—was characterized, microencapsulated by vibration technology, and used to prepare a new type of packaging system designed to extend the food shelf life. The basil essential oil (BEO) chemical composition and antimicrobial activity were analyzed, as well as the morphological and biological properties of the derived BEO microcapsules (BEOMC). Analysis of BEO by gas chromatography demonstrated that the main component was linalool, whereas the study of its antimicrobial activity showed a significant inhibitory effect against all the microorganisms tested, mostly Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, the prepared BEOMC showed a spheroidal shape and retained the EO antimicrobial activity. Finally, chitosan-based edible films were produced, grafted with BEOMC, and characterized for their physicochemical and biological properties. Since their effective antimicrobial activity was demonstrated, these films were tested as packaging system by wrapping cooked ham samples during 10 days of storage, with the aim of their possible use to extend the shelf life of the product. It was demonstrated that the obtained active film can both control the bacterial growth of the cooked ham and markedly inhibit the pH increase of the packaged food.
