Volatile profile of basil cultivars and hybrids
The aim of this study was to evaluate the volatile profile as a result of hybridization. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey test and Principal Component Analysis. Hybridization provided the appearance of compounds in hybrids, and these compounds are absent in the parental volatile profile. The new compounds were: camphor, neral, geranial, beta-selinene, bicyclogermacrene, (E)-caryophyllene and methyl chavicol, for the hybrid 'Genovese' x 'Maria Bonita'; and camphor, for the hybrid 'Sweet Dani' x 'Genovese'
