Summary

Basil and sage leaves were blanched in boiling water and steam respectively. The raw and blanched samples were stored at -20 °C for 3, 6 and 9 months. The volatile compounds were stripped and concentrated. The volatile extracts were analysed. The results obtained showed that storage at -20 °C for 9 months caused, in raw basil and sage, a quantitative decrease in the characteristic volatile compounds and the disappearance of the "green" note compounds and after 9 months the aromatic profiles of the characteristic compounds were still quite similar to those of the raw unstored samples.
