Components of the collected essential oils were examined by the techniques such as Gas chromatography and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The analysis showed that the major components of essential oils were linalool (48.69%), 1,8-cineole (14.00%), trans-α-bergamotene (8.23%) and eugenol (6.64%). The antioxidant investigation was achieved using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as a radical scavenger and bleaching of β-carotene/linoleic assay. The essential oil displayed strong inhibition with 110.8% against autoxidation of linoleic acid, while the scavenging of DPPH radical gave a value of IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;145.35 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results signify that essential oils of &lt;em&gt;O. Basilicum&lt;/em&gt; could be used for pharmaceutical studies and preservative in the food industry. This is the first study of the essential components of new cultivate of Thai basil in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
