“…The major essential oil chemotypes from O. tenuiflorum are characterized by a large amount of eugenol (23–77%) and methyl eugenol (36–93%) (Raina et al 2013 ; Raina and Misra 2018 ). Moreover, eugenol/β-caryophyllene, eugenol/methyl eugenol (Rana and Blazquez 2015 ), methyl eugenol/β-caryophyllene (Piras et al 2018 ), etc., occur as major chemotypes, while exceptional chemotypes β-elemene/β-caryophyllene (Kitchlu et al 2013 ), 1,8-cineole/β-bisabolene (Carović-Stanko et al 2011 ), eugenol/α-cubebene, eugenol/α-humulene (Saran et al 2017 ), etc., have also been detected in O. tenuiflorum (Table S2). O. americanum essential oil can be represented by camphor (Raina and Misra 2018 ), camphor/limonene (Verma et al 2016 ), citral (Mondello et al 2002 ), linalool (Olugbade et al 2017 ), methyl cinnamate (Vieira and Simon 2006 ), methyl chavicol/linalool (Singh et al 2013 ), etc., as main chemotypes (Table S3).…”

Ocimum species represent commercially important medicinal and aromatic plants. The essential oil biosynthesized by Ocimum species is enriched with specialized metabolites specifically, terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. Interestingly, various Ocimum species are known to exhibit diverse chemical profiles, and this chemical diversity has been at the center of many studies to identify commercially important chemotypes. Here, we present various chemotypes from the Ocimum species and emphasize trends, implications, and strategies for the quality and yield improvement of essential oil. Globally, many Ocimum species have been analyzed for their essential oil composition in over 50 countries. Asia represents the highest number of chemotypes, followed by Africa, South America, and Europe. Ocimum basilicum L. has been the most widespread and well-studied species, followed by O . gratissimum L., O . tenuiflorum L., O . canum Sims, O . americanum and O . kilimandscharicum Gürke. Moreover, various molecular reasons, benefits, adverse health effects and mechanisms behind this vast chemodiversity have been discussed. Different strategies of plant breeding, metabolic engineering, transgenic, and tissue-culture, along with anatomical modifications, are surveyed to enhance specific chemotypic profiles and essential oil yield in numerous Ocimum species. Consequently, chemical characterization of the essential oil obtained from Ocimum species has become indispensable for its proper utilization . The present chemodiversity knowledge from Ocimum species will help to exploit various applications in the industrial, agriculture, biopharmaceutical, and food sectors.

“…However, clove production is laborintensive and not easily grown in the United States. Holy basil has lower production costs, can be grown easily in the southeast, and is a less-expensive option for extracting eugenol commercially (Saran et al, 2017).…”

The use of medicinal plants in the United States is increasing. Holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum L. and Ocimum gratissimum L.), a medicinal herb native to India, has become increasingly popular for its therapeutic benefits. Traditionally, holy basil has been used to promote longevity by reducing stress and restoring balance to the body. Because it is easy to grow and adapts to a wide range of growing conditions, there is great potential for holy basil production in the southeastern United States. The purpose of this study was to evaluate holy basil varieties for harvestable weight and essential oil content. Fourteen varieties of holy basil were grown during the 2015 and 2016 seasons and compared. The main active compound in the holy basil essential oil fraction, eugenol, was quantitated and compared for each variety, because it is believed to be responsible for many of the health-promoting effects. Overall, there were significant differences in harvestable weights and essential oil yields among the varieties, and a significant effect of growing season. The eugenol content was highly variable among the varieties examined, with higher eugenol contents in 2016 than in 2015. The variety that had the overall highest yield, essential oil content, and eugenol concentration was PI 288779, a USDA accession, suggesting its use in future breeding research.

“…Thus, the altered levels between methyl chavicol (estragole) and linalool can be used to classified subspecies of the sweet basil [ 28 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Similarly, the constituents of the eugenol and methyl eugenol can be used to discriminate sub-varieties of the holy basil ( O. sanctum ) [ 30 ]. This is in agreement with our finding where the distinct levels of these phenylpropanoids were observed in both WB and RB.…”

In 2018, Tangpao et al [ 34 ] illustrated that estragole, eugenol, and methyl eugenol were among the significant VOCs found in the essential oils of some Thai Ocimum spp.…”

In this work, the chemical compositions of basils oils, including those of lemon basil, white holy basil, Thai basil, tree basil and red holy basil, were analysed. Methyl eugenol was detected in all types of basils. The essential oils of red and white holy basils possessed a comparable ability (~25%) to attract male Oriental fruit fly to the synthesised fruit fly attractant in the laboratory experiment. To control the release of the active ingredients, the white holly basil oil (WBO) was encapsulated with maltodextrin (MD) and gum arabic (GA) by paste method. The essential oil is retained in the wall complex much longer with the addition of MD. The results also revealed that the combination of the MD:GA (25:75) had the highest loading efficiency of the oil (9.40%) as observed by the numerous porous structures by scanning electron microscopy. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of the encapsulated polymer confirmed traces of essential oil functional groups. The field test study advised that WBO-encapsulated products improved fruit fly attractive efficiency by maintaining the release rate of basil essential oil.
