• Ocimum species
• Essential oil
• GC-MS
• Compositional analysis

The three Ocimum species viz. Ocimum tenuiflorum L, O. basilicum L. and O. kilimandsharicum Guerke were analyzed for their oil composition by GC and GC-MS techniques. A total of 45 compounds were identified accounting for 89.9-96.3 % of the oil compositions. The essential oil of O. tenuiflorum L. was represented by eugenol (23.6 %), beta-bisabolene (16.1 %), alpha-humulene (14.0 %), methyl chavicol (10.5 %), 1,8-cineole (10.3 %), and (Z)-beta-ocimene (8.0 %) as the main component. O. basilicum essential oil mainly contained methyl chavicol (52.0 %) and linalool (38.8 %) as major constituents; while O. kilimandscharicum essential oil was dominated by camphor (44.3 %), limonene (11.0 %), 1,8-cineole (10.7 %) and camphene (5.9 %).
