Abstract

At the Absheron Experimental Station (Bina settlement) of the Fruit and Tea Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ocimum basilicum L. - ordinary basil species belonging to the family Lamiaceae Lindl. were collected in accordance with standards in the laboratory. The biomorphological features of the species were studied, the phytochemical composition of the plants, the possibilities of its use in folk and scientific medicine were given a detailed explanation. Ocimum basilicum L. - solvents of different basil leaves and stems of ordinary basil were extracted by hexane and ethanol and their spectra were recorded by Hitachi U-2900 UV-VIS spectrophotometer. According to the results of the analysis, the leaves and stems of the species contain essential oil α-pinene, β pinene, carene 3, α-terpinene, 1.8 sieno l (eucalyptol), μ terpinene, terpinolen, cyclohexanone 5-m-2 (1-me ) -cis, linaool, cariophyllen, terpinene-4-ol, citronellol, N, N di methyi acetamide, α-terpineol, camphene, myrtenol, nerol, geraniol, camphor, α-terpenilacetate, heranyl oleate, neril acetate, citron heranyl tiglate substances.
