Volatiles linked to basil's clove-like and piquant smell
A sensory and volatilomics comparison of nine basil types linked eugenol and germacrene D to a clove-like smell, and β-pinene and γ-cadinene to a piquant smell.
SCOPE
Correlations across nine Ocimum types; association rather than proof of cause, and basil chemotypes differ widely.
