Abstract

Chamomile is one of the most known medicinal and aromatic plants in Albania. It is well known in applications of cosmetic and skin care products and in natural remedies as well. The essential oils of chamomile flowerheads were extracted by subcritical CO2 and the extract fractions were analyzed by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The extractions were carried out using high-pressure (65 bars) Soxhlet apparatus.
