“…The essential oil of chamomile flowers has significant antiinflammatory (Jellinek, 1984;Tubaro et al, 1984;Lal et al, 1993), antiseptic (Musselman, 1996), antiphlogistic (Isaac, 1979;Jakovlev et al, 1979), and spasmolytic (Maschi et al, 2008) properties and is therefore used in pharmaceutical, perfume, cosmetics, aromatherapy, and food industries (Lal et al, 1993). To evaluate the pharmaceutical value, analysis of essential oil and extracts from the flowers of M. recutita revealed the high presence of sesquiterpene derivatives (75-90%) including (E)-β-farnesene (4.9-8.1%), terpene alcohol (farnesol), chamazulene (2.3-10.9%), α-bisabolol (4.8-11.3%), and α-bisabolol oxides A (25.5-28.7%) as well as α-bisabolol oxides B (12.2-30.9%) (Pothke and Bulin, 1969;Isaac, 1979;Gasic et al, 1983;Schilcher et al, 2005) and these components are known for their antiinflammatory, antiseptic, antiphlogistic, and spasmolytic properties.…”
