Abstract: In order to improve the utilization efficiency of basil essential oils extracted by solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and steam distillation (SD), the effect of the two methods on the quality of basil oil, such as yields, aroma quality, volatile components, and its application in cigarette, etc., were evaluated. The results showed that the yield of basil oil by SFME was significantly higher than that by SD. The main aroma components in the basil essential oils by both methods were estragole, but the content in basil essential oil extracted by SFME was 10% higher than that by SD. And other components in the basil oil by the two methods are also with a little different in variety and contents. The application in cigarette showed that the basil essential oil by SFME could improve the sense of sweet and enrich the aroma of smoking.

Key words: basil essential oils, solvent-free microwave extraction, steam distillation, volatility component, application on cigarette
