Abstract

The genus of Matricaria chamomilla L is one of the important of medicinal plants used in medicinal and cosmetics industries. In pharmacogonosy, consideration of the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of chamomile can be undertaken, to be clearly understood. Plant material were collected, 22 Km. Away from Kazeroon city on App. 1997, and essential oils obtained from flowerheads by two different methods (Hydrodistillation & steam distillation). The oils were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Main components for hydrodistilation method, representing 93.39% of total oil were, a- Bisabolol (56.86%), trans-trans Farnesol(15.64%), sis-b-Farnesene(7.12%), Guaiazulene(4.24%) and chamazulene(2.18%) which are 86.04% from whole the oil. Main components for steam distillation method, representing 95.61% of total oil were, a-Bisabolol (51.72%), trans-trans-Farnesol (15.33%), Guaiazulene (10.51%), cis-B-Farnesene (9.48%) and chamazulene (3.69%), which are 90.73% from whole the oil. a-Bisabolol, a major component of matricaria, is reported to have anti-inflammatory can used in our medicinal and cometics industries.
