Seidler-Lozykowska, K.
In 1994–2003 samples of chamomile flowers were analyzed in order to determine the essential oil, α-bisabolol and chamazulene content. The correlation between changes in weather conditions and these active compound contents was estimated to understand the reason of significant differences over the years. The results showed different reactions of chamomile genotypes to weather conditions. High temperature and intensive insolation had a negative effect on the oil content, whereas it had a strongly positive effect on the α-bisabolol content.
