Subcritical water extraction (SWE) of essential oil from Matricaria Chamomilla L.  (M. Chamomilla L.) was performed and compared with conventional method including hydro distillation. The percentage of main extracted components of different temperatures (100, 125, 150 and 175 oc) and water flow rates (1, 2 and 4 ml/min) were investigated at 20 bar pressure and 0.50 mm mean particle size in SWE....

The essential oils isolated from basil (Ocimum sp.), chamomile (Chamomilla recutita L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and oregano (Origanum sp.) were analysed rapidly and non-destructively applying different vibrational spectroscopic methods (ATR-IR, NIR and Raman spectroscopy). Whereas NIR spectroscopic data can be interpreted only by application of chemometric algorithms, IR and Raman spectra o...
