Introduction | basil oil is a dark yellow and red-brown flowing liquid with eugenol aroma. Soluble in ethanol. The oil distilled by steam is light oil with relative density of 0.9588~0.9852(20/20 ℃), refractive index of 1.514~1.526 and phenol content of not less than 52%. During the re-distillation (reflux distillation), the oil separated from the distillate water is heavy oil with a relative density of 1.030~1.056(20/ 20 ℃) and a refractive index of 1.529~1.536, the content of phenol is not less than 82%. |
Main components | The main components of basil oil are eugenol, ocimene, linalool, pinene, etc. |
Source | clove basil oil is a volatile oil obtained by steam distillation of whole grass of the Labiatae plant Ocimum Basil. |

field of application | GB2760-1996: food flavors allowed for temporary use. Basil oil can also be used for the preparation of cosmetics, soap, toothpaste, food, tobacco flavor, can also be extracted from eugenol and other synthetic spices. |
extraction process | clove basil oil is obtained from the whole grass of the Labiatae plant Ocimum Basil by steam distillation, the yield was 0.18%-0.32%. It is mainly produced in Indonesia, the former Soviet Union, the Seychelles, China's Guangxi, Guangdong has also been a large number of cultivation. |
storage | clove basil oil should be light-shielded, fully packed, sealed, and stored in a cool place. |
identification test | about 0.5ml of sample was taken and dissolved by adding about 1ml of ethanol, add 5-10 drops of freshly prepared 5% vanillin in hydrochloric acid solution, shake, should be dark green. |
content analysis | accurately weigh 10ml(A) of sample and put it in A 100ml aldehyde bottle, add 75ml potassium hydroxide solution (1mol/L), shake for 5min, heat on water bath for 10min, cool and stratify, add the above potassium hydroxide solution to make the oil layer rise to the scale, to be clarified (about 18h). The number of milliliters of oil layer (B) is read, and (A-B)× 10 is the percentage content of eugenol in the sample. |
