Abstract

The composition of the flowers of Matricaria recutita (Chamomile) steam (I) and hydro distilled (II) essential oil of north east regions of India were examined by gas chromatographic-mass spectroscopic analysis. The essential oil yield (mL/100 g dry weight) were 0.40 % and 0.50 %, respectively. Thirty two and 34 compounds comprising 99.95 and 100 % of the total peak area were identified in the (I) and (II) respectively. The common major components of essential oils have been identified as b-farnesene (10.23, 11.96 %), trans-limonene oxide (3.48, 3.31 %), bisabolol oxide B (16.91, 17.43 %), a-bisabolol (23.14, 23.30 %), azulene 7-ethyl-1,4-dimethyl (camazulene) (5.42, 4.82 %), bisabolol oxide A (16.17, 14.91%), 1,6-dioxaspironon-3-ene (11.20, 10.52 %). The identity of components of essential oil was confirmed on the basis of retention time, mass and supplemented library of NIST, USA.
