„In foods and beverages, the essential oil and extract are used as flavor components. In manufacturing, the volatile oil of Roman chamomile is used as a fragrance in soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes; and to flavor cigarette tobacco. The extract is also used in cosmetics and soaps. Teas have been used as a hair tint and conditioner, and to treat parasitic worm infections.“ http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/752.html

The essential oil of C.nobile from two different regions in Northern Italy showed no significant differences in the composition, characterized by a high content of isobutyl angelate (36.3–38.5%), 2-methylbutyl angelate (18.2–20.3%) and other angelate esters.

„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).“
