Abstract: | "The aim of the present study was to investigate the volatile and sensorial profile of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) by quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) of the essential oil of three hybrids ('Cinnamon' x 'Maria Bonita,' 'Sweet Dani' x 'Cinnamon,' and 'Sweet Dani' x 'Maria Bonita'). Twelve descriptive terms were developed by a selected panel that also generated the definition of each term and the reference samples. The data were subjected to ANOVA, Tukey's test, and principal component analysis. The hybrid 'Cinnamon' x 'Maria Bonita' exhibited a stronger global aroma that was less citric than the other samples. Hybridization favored the generation of novel compounds in the essential oil of the hybrid 'Sweet Dani' x 'Maria Bonita,' such as canfora and (E)-caryophyllene; (E)-caryophyllene also was a novel compound in the hybrid 'Sweet Dani' x 'Cinnamon'; this compound was not present in the essential oils of the parents" |
