Basil Oil (High-Methyl Chavicol)

Ocimum Basilicum

Basil Essential Oil (High-Methyl Chavicol), also known as Estragole-rich Basil oil, is extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and flowering tops of the Ocimum basilicum plant. This specific chemotype contains a high percentage of methyl chavicol (estragole)—a compound responsible for its sweet, spicy, anise-like aroma and potent therapeutic properties.
This variety is distinct from linalool-rich basil oils, offering a more vibrant and uplifting scent profile, making it highly valued in flavoring, aromatherapy, and fragrance formulations.

    Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid

    Aroma: Sweet, spicy, slightly herbal with strong anise-like notes

    Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and fixed oils; insoluble in water

    Refractive Index: 1.510 - 1.530

    Specific Gravity: 0.950 - 0.970

    Flash Point: ~70°C

    Optical Rotation:+30° to +50° (depending on the composition).

Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
