„The composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the flower heads of Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. (Asteraceae) was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/M S. Thirty-six components of the oil were identified. The major components were esters, such as isobutyl angelate (21.6%), 2-methylbutyl angelate (14.4%), 2-methyl-2-propenyl angelate (9.1%) and 3-methylamyl angelate (8.4%).“

„The qualitative and quantitative composition of the main aromatic and polyphenolic constituents of infusion from Chamaemelum nobile flowers was examined. The camomile tea contained a large amount of polyphenolic compounds (340 mg/l), the most important being chamaemeloside (155 mg/l). Only traces of essential oil were recovered in tea (7 mg/l).“
