The volatile constituents of Matricaria recutita L. cultivated in Estonia were isolated by SDE and studied by GC/FID and GC/MS. Thirty-seven components were identified. The main components were bisabolol oxide A (20-33%) and B (8-12%), bisabolon oxide A (7-14%), (E)-β-farnesene (4-13%), α -bisabolol (8-14%), chamazulene (5-7%), and en-yn-dicycloether (17-22%). The content of sesquiterpenoid compounds was high, amounting to 70% of the total oil. Variations in the essential oil composition of different chamomile samples and the yields of oil during distillation are also reported.
