Analysis of the enzymatic formation of citral in the glands of sweet basil

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2006
Basil glands of the Sweet Dani cultivar contain high levels of citral, a mixture of geranial and its cis-isomer neral, as well as low levels of geraniol and nerol. We have previously reported the identification of a cDNA from Sweet Dani that encodes an enzyme responsible for the formation of geraniol from geranyl diphosphate in the glands, and that ...

SENSORY CHARACTERISATION OF SWEET BASIL ESSENTIAL OIL

Acta Horticulturae, 2007
Sweet basil is characterised by ample variability of essential oil composition. New industrial uses require better knowledge of its sensory characteristics, in order to meet specific customers' requirements. Panellists were trained to recognise the three more abundant components of basil essential oil, linalool, eugenol and 1,8 cineol, by means of ...

NUTRIENTS INFLUENCE ON READY TO EAT SWEET BASIL QUALITY

Acta Horticulturae, 2006
In this paper we report on the effects of the nutrient solution strength (single and double strength Hoagland solution) on the nutritional value and shelf life of two cultivars ('Napoletano' and 'Genovese') of hydroponically grown sweet basil. In addition, the effect of a cleaning solution (Clorata (R)) on the harvest product was studied.
