Study on Roman Chamomile (<i>Chamaemelum nobile</i>L. All.) Oil

Abstract

Abstract In this report the comparative chemical composition of the essential oil of Chamaemelum nobile from two different regions in Northern Italy was examined by GC and GC/MS. No significant differences were found in the composition of the two oils which were characterized by a high content of isobutyl angelate (36.3–38.5%), 2-methylbutyl angelate (18.2–20.3%) and other angelate esters.
