Abstract

Essential oils from six varieties of Ocimum basilicum L. grown in the west of Algeria (Mediterranean region) were identified by GC-MS chromatography using two different types of capillary columns: non-polar and polar. Chemotypes identified by the non-polar column are Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum basilicum purparescens opal, Ocimum basilicum minimum, Ocimum basilicum cinnamon, Ocimum basilicum (marcellais) and Ocimum basilicum citriodora are linalool-eugenol (37.6-33.5 %), linalool-eugenol (40.2-24.4 %), methyl eugenol-farnesene (b, E) (28.4-10.3 %), methyl cinnamate (E)–linalool (37.2-28.2 %), linalool (50.5 %) and geranial-neral (21.5-17.5 %), respectively. The analysis with polar column completes these results and confirms them.
