Plant Identity

Botanical name: Ocimum Basilicum Basil is an annual aromatic, herbaceous plant. The word "Basil" comes from the Greek word "vasileus" which means royal and the Latin name of the plant is Ocimum Basilicum. There are many varieties of Ocimum basilicum. The type that is widely used in cooking, is called sweet basil. It probably comes from India, from where it traveled 4,000 years ago to Egypt, ancient Greece and finally to Europe. It is a plant known since antiquity for its healing action. There are reports that confirm its use by Chinese therapists and Ayurvedic medicine in India, but also by the Greek physician Dioscouridis. Basil is considered the best of all aromatic herbs and is widely used for flavor.

Extraction Methods

The essential oil of Basil comes from the steam distillation of its leaves. Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents. Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.

Properties

Basil has a high content of linalool and a lower content of methylcavicol than the basil of Thailand which has the highest content for it and is often preferred in aromatherapy. According to analyzes, methylcavicol can be a carcinogenic compound if the rate of use exceeds 0.02%. The main chemicals found in basil essential oils include methylcavicol, eugenol, linalool, limonene and citronellol. Basil essential oil has antioxidant and antibacterial properties due to ingredients such as methylcavicol (estragol) and the linalool it contains. It owes its clove-like scent to eugenol for example and the smell of citrus that some of its species have, to citral.
