| Abstract | ||
| Chamazolene, a-bisabolene oxide A and a-bisabolol oxide A and B are important and valuable sesquiterpens in the flowers of Anthemis and Matricaria genus that are noticed because of their different usage in cosmetic and hygiene materials. In this research, the flowers of 3 specimens of Matricaria recutita L. (from Khuzestan, Booshehr and Fars provinces), M. aurea (Loefl.) Schultz-Bip.(fromTange eram) and Anthemis hyalina DC.(from Dashtestan) were collected. After drying the flowers in room temperature, the essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation. Chemical composition of the oils were investigated by analytical GC, GC/MS and computing retention indices. The oil yield of M. recutita (Booshehr) was 2.85%, in specimen of Khuzestan 0.68% and in specimen ofFarswas 2.35%, in M. aurea 0.63% and in A. hyalina was 2.54%. Nine compounds were recognized in different specimens of M. recutita that their main components were a-bisabolene oxide A (63.4%-92.4%), a-bisabolol oxide A (3.3%-15.4%) and chamazolene (2.6%-10.6%). Seven compounds were identified in M. aurea that a-bisabolene oxide A (59.0%), a-bisabolol oxide A (22.3%) and chamazolene (8.8%) were main components. Six compounds were recognized in essential oil of A. hyalina that major compounds were a-bisabolene oxide A (66.1%), a-bisabolol oxide A (15.5%) and chamazolene (6.9%). | ||
