The influence of y and b-irradiation and storage time on the composition of the volatile compounds in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) has been examined. Dried basil was exposed to yand P-rays at the doses of 3, 10 and 30 kGy, and volatile components were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction

β¦ Synopsis
An investigation of the influence of air-drying, freeze-drying, y-and b-irradiation and storage for up to 10 months on the composition of volatile compounds in thyme herb (Thymus vulgaris L.) is presented. Altogether, 70 constituents were identified (53 positively and 17 tentatively), including those considered most important for thyme flavour. Quantitative results did not reveal significant differences in the composition of irradiated and non-irradiated samples, and the reduction of the amount of some volatile compounds after drying was comparable for airdried and freeze-dried herb. The largest changes in flavour composition were observed during storage, especially the reduction in the concentration of monoterpene hydrocarbons.
