Abstract
Ocimum basilicum, Myrtus communis and Mentha arvensis were subjected t o steam distillation for the extraction of essential oils. For quantit ative and qualitative analysis, GC-MS techniques were used. In case of Ocimum basilicum, 13 compounds were identified, while in Myrtus commu nis and Mentha arvensis 15 and 12 compounds were characterized, respec tively.
