Chemical Compositions of Ocimum sanctum Shyama and 0cimum sanctum Rama Oils from the Plains of Northern India
Abstract
Two cultivars of Ocimum sanctum Shyama and Ocimum sanctum Rama on hydrodistillation resulted in the isolation of 0.41% & 0.43% of oils (w/v) on fresh weight basis respectively. GC and GC-MS Analysis of Ocimum sanctum Shyama resulted in the identification of 34 constituents comprising 98.3% of the oil, of which the major ones were methyl eugenol (67.8%) and (E)-ca ryoph yll en e (17.1%). On th e oth er ha nd GC an d G C- MS an alysis of Ocimum sanctum Rama resulted in the identification of 39 constituents comprising 98% of the oil, where eugenol (46.2%), (E)-caryophyllene (27.6%) and β-elemene (16.3%) were the major constituents of the oils,

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
