Basil Oil, Comoros Type

Basil Oil, Comoros Type, occurs as a light yellow liquid with a spicy odor. It is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops or the entire plant of Ocimum basilicum L. (Fam. Lamiaceae).

It is soluble in most fixed oils and, with turbidity, in mineral oil. One milliliter is soluble in 20 mL of propylene glycol with slight haziness, but it is insoluble in glycerin.
