Classification properties | There are two types of Roman oil and Germanic oil. 1) Roman oil is produced in Britain, France, Belgium and other countries. Dark blue viscous liquid, long put to turn green or brown, with a faint scent. Relative density 0.905~0.920, refractive index 1.4420~1.4585,[α]D-3 ~ 3, acid value 1.5~15. It mainly contains esters of angelic acid and methyl butyl acid. 2) Germanic oil is produced in Germany, and the oil color is the same as Roman oil. Relative density 0.920~0.955, refractive index 1.3640. Mainly contain esters of caprylic acid and nonanoic acid. |
composition | the chemical composition of chamomile oil from different producing areas is different. among them, 65 volatile compounds have been identified in French chamomile oil, accounting for 85.06% of its volatile components. Among them, there are 14 alcohols, 3 acids, 2 aldehydes, 34 esters, 4 ketones and 8 alkanes; the main components are butyl isovalerate, butyl timonate, (E)-pine parsley alcohol, isobutyl isobutyrate, isoamyl isobutyrate, pine carvone, isobutyl methacrylate, 2-pinene, 2-methylbutyrate-2-dimethylpropyl ester, panacyllactone, isobutyl timonate, myrrtene aldehyde, 2-methylbutyl acetate and other compounds. A total of 70 volatile compounds were identified from German chamomile oil, accounting for 96.70% of its volatile components. Among them, there are 10 alcohols, 1 acid, 2 heterocyclic, 4 aldehydes, 2 phenols, 11 esters, 5 ketones, 30 alkanes and 5 other compounds; the main components are (E)-β-cinacene, bicyclic geranylene, α-red myrrh alcohol oxide B, α-red myrrh ketone oxide, α-red myrrh alcohol oxide A, large geranylene D, (E)-β-baserene, mother chrysanthemum azene, spathol, artemisia ketone, menthol, carvone and other compounds. 53 volatile compounds were identified from British chamomile oil, accounting for 89.85% of its volatile components. There are 6 alcohols, 5 acids, 2 aldehydes, 29 esters, 4 ketones and 7 alkanes; the main components are 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid hexyl ester, (E)-pine parsley alcohol, amyl butyrate, butyl timonate, butyl-3-methyl-2-butenoic acid, pine carvone, isoamyl isobutyrate, artemisia ketone, hexyl isovalerate, myrrtene aldehyde, hexyl acetate, pinene and other compounds. Azulene contained in chamomile plants was detected only in German chamomile. The essential oil of German chamomile is dark blue. This is because during the distillation and extraction process, the natural ingredients of the plant are mixed with steam to produce a kind of "blue chamomile oil hydrocarbon" (mother chrysanthemum azulene), which is rare Blue, different from other chamomile oils. |
