Description
Basil Oil Product Overview
Basil oil comes from steam distillation of the flowering herb Ocimum basilicum. The linalool-type oil supplied here is a pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fresh, herbaceous and slightly spicy aroma and contains at least 45% linalool, whereas other chemotypes are rich in methyl chavicol (estragole).
Flavor houses use it in sauces, pesto-style products, savory seasonings and beverages, while perfumers use it in fresh, green and aromatic fragrances. Similarly, aromatherapy and personal care brands use it in diffuser blends, soaps and lotions. Because estragole remains restricted in food flavorings, the linalool type with low estragole content suits food applications.
Furthermore, other natural aroma materials in our range include Lavender extract, Litsea Cubeba Oil and Cassia Extract.
