Abstract. Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is the oldest spices belonging to the

Lamiaceae family, commercially and extensively cultivated for essential oil

production in many continents around the world. Oil and oleoresin of basil is widelyutilized for natural deodorant. Smells, however, can be embarrassing and unpleasant

and this is where homemade, Ociba Natural Deodorants are a great way to avoid

parabens, aluminum, and neuro-toxins found in commercial deodorants and

antiperspirants. Deodorants work by creating a more acid, inhospitable environment

to odor-producing bacteria, while antiperspirants clog or block the pores, cutting

down on the amount of perspiration that leaves the body, thus giving the bacteria less

to feed on. The chemical composition of basilicum L. essential oil depends on chemo-

type, leaf and flower colors, aroma and origin of plants. Chemo-types of basil based

on essential oil composition: 1) methyl chavicol (estragole)-rich, 2) linalool-rich, 3)

methyl eugenol-rich, 4) methyl cinnamate-rich, and also numerous subtypes. The oil

is characterized by high amounts of linalool (35

50%) and estragole (15

25%); 2)Reunion chemotype (estragole basil): its main essential oil component is estragole

(80% or more); 3) tropical chemotype (cinnamon basil): oil is dominated by methyl

cinnamate and 4) eugenol chemotype with major oil component eugenol. It was made

stick natural deodorants by extracted basil 100 gr, alum 2 gram with alcohol 70-80%

25 ml by heated in waterbath (temperature 80C), enhanced sodium of stearat 3 gr ,

swirled it mingled to flatten, filtered it to dissociate its sediment, and pour it into

mould printing. Characteristic of Ociba Stick Natural Deodorant are Warm, spicy and

herbal, antiseptic and calming. In views of economical and easyaspects, production of

Ociba Natural Deodorant can actually be very effective in the fight against underarm

funkand really help us stay fresh all day.

I. Introduction

Among the aromatic herbs, basil (Ocimum basilicum L) has commercially and

extensively cultivated for essential oil production in Indonesia [1]. It grows semi wild

and is cultivated at small scale in vegetable gardens. Current domestic uses are only

for food and folk medicinebecause of their natural aroma, flavour and other properties[7]. Nevertheless, a large scale production of the basil essential for well-known value-

added applications, as natural deodorant [8].

The Basil oil has high economic value due to the presence of specific

substances such as estragol, lineol, linalool, eugenol, methyl cinamato, limonene and

geraniol [2]. Essential oils extracted from the plants are in a complex mixture of

terpenes, sesquiterpenes, oxygenated derivatives and other aromatic compounds.

These components are characteristic for basil aroma, which are precursors to the

presence of 1,8-cineole have been suggested as agents in allelopathy reactions, methyl

cinnamate, methyl cavicol and linalool, which has mentioned the antimicrobial,

antifungal and insect-repelling properties of basil oil. The essential oil is widely

utilized for natural deodorant. The chemical composition of basilicum L. essential oildepends on chemo-type, leaf and flower colors, aroma and origin of plants. Chemo-

types of basil based on essential oil composition: 1) methyl chavicol (estragole)-rich,

2) linalool-rich, 3) methyl eugenol-rich, 4) methyl cinnamate-rich, and also numerous

subtypes. The oil is characterized by high amounts of linalool (3550%) and estragole

(1525%); 2) Reunion chemotype (estragole basil): its main essential oil component

is estragole (80% or more); 3) tropical chemotype (cinnamon basil): oil is dominated

by methyl cinnamate and 4) eugenol chemotype with major oil component eugenol.

Lawrence [13] classified four major chemotypes of basil based on essential oil

composition: 1) methyl chavicol (estragole)-rich, 2) linalool-rich, 3) methyl eugenol-

rich, 4) methyl cinnamate-rich, and also numerous subtypes. Basil cultivars also vary

significantly in their essential oil composition. According to their geographical origin

and on the basis of their major constituents, they are classified in four chemotypes

[14]: 1) European chemotype: the oil is characterized by high amounts of linalool

(3550%) and estragole (1525%); 2) Reunion chemotype (estragole basil): its main

essential oil component is estragole (80% or more); 3) tropical chemotype (cinnamon

basil): oil is dominated by methyl cinnamate and 4) eugenol chemotype with major oil

component eugenol.

The wide distribution throughout the world, the availability of various

chemotypes and the production of new cultivars have resulted in a great variation in

the essential oil composition and aroma among basil species [15]. The oils from

different types of basil or different production areas are of different distinct flavorsand different value on the world market [16-17]. In the perfumery the chemical

composition of basil oil is also of a great importance. The oil (with linalool and

methyl chavicol as the main components), is often considered to have the finest flavor

and the highest quality as deodorant.

Smells, however, can be embarrassing and unpleasant and this is where

homemade, Ociba Natural Deodorants are a great way to avoid parabens, aluminum,

and neuro-toxins found in commercial deodorants and antiperspirants. Deodorants

work by creating a more acid, inhospitable environment to odor-producing bacteria,

while antiperspirants clog or block the pores, cutting down on the amount of

perspiration that leaves the body, thus giving the bacteria less to feed on.
