The main constituents are a volatile oil which contains anithole, methyl
chavicol, and saffrole.
vulgare; linalool (62.47%; RI = 1107) and methyl
chavicol (30.94%; RI = 1204) in O.
The estragole is also termed as Methyl
Chavicol and is chemically named as 1-methoxy-4-prop-2-enylbenzene.
Evaluation of the chemical characteristics of the essential oils obtained by Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS).--The result of this study allowed the identification of seven constituents: Eugenol,
Chavicol, Terpinol, Linalol, Limonene, Mirceno and Octenol.
The major components of EO Ocimum micranthum were determined to be methyl
chavicol (58.2 %) and linalool (29.8%).
The essential oils were acquired and the composition of the products were informed by the producer company through technical reports (clove Eugenia caryophyllata: eugenol = 86%; tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia: terpinen-4-ol = 42% and gamma-Terpinene = 22%; basil Ocimum basilicum: methyl
chavicol = 84%).
