Study on aroma components of basil leaves by HS-SPME-GC-MS
Aroma components of basil were extracted and analyzed by head space - solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry ( HS - SPME - GC - MS). Twenty components were detected by DVB/CAR/ PDMS column and 18 compounds ( 98.273% of total) were identified with main constituents of estragole (42.879%), linalool (36.214%) and cineole (3.994%) .Twenty five components were detected and 23 compounds ( 98.827% of total) were identified by CAR/PDMS column with estragole ( 48. 100%), linalool (24.868%) and cineole (3.321%). Twenty four components were detected and 24 compounds (100% of total) were identified by CW - DVB column with linalool (36.056%), estragole (35.774%) and cineole (8.189%).
