Abstract

In this study, it was investigated essential oil yield and compositions
of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) cultivated in Konya
and Karaman ecological conditions, Turkey. Essential oil yield of chamomile was
determined as 0.73 % in Konya and 0.62 % in Karaman. The most important
essential oil component of chamomile, kamazulen content is 1.13 % in Konya location and 1.36 % in Karaman location. Alpha-bisabolol
content from the essential oil components
in the Konya and Karaman province was determined as 38.60% and 27.36%,
respectively. The aim of this research attempts to
contribute to knowledge of differences between essential oil yield and components of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.)
cultivated in Konya and Karaman ecological conditions, Turkey.
