Abstract:

Chamomile is well known and widely used for its therapeutic purposes. It is generally approved that natural products not necessarily mean safe or pure products, thus the aim of our research was to assess the degree to which chamomile tea manufacturers comply with the regulations imposed by the European pharmaceutical distribution market (Romania being part of the European Union) of such a tea. In the present study we present the results obtained in the phytochemical analysis of the volatile oils extracted from 10
commercial samples of chamomile tea. Important qualitative and quantitative differences were noted for the separated volatile fractions.
