There are other cases where steam distillation is responsible for more specific problems of artefact formation which can be avoided if C02-extraction is applied for essential oil separation. One example is the blue colour of distilled German camomile oil. This is caused by the transformation of matricin, which is the genuine plant ingredient, into chamazulene [4]. Both substances have anti-inflammatory properties but the matricin, which is preserved during COj-extraction, is believed to have the better efficacy. Also, the sensitive fragrance of camomile flowers is better preserved in the C02-extract than in the steam distillate.

Terpenes are components of various products e.g. tobacco smoke, wax pastes (furniture and floor polishes etc.), liquid waxes (floor polishes etc.), cleansers (detergents etc.), polishes, dyes and varnishes, synthetic resins, so-called natural building products, deodorants, perfumes, softeners, air fresheners, foods, beverages, pharmaceutical products (e.g. camomile oil, eucalyptus oil). In these products terpene compounds such as geraniol, myrcene (beta-myrcene), ocimene, menthol, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, d-limonene, 3-carene, cineole, camphene or caryophyllene can be detected. 

Originally the term was used for the blue, high boiling fraction of camomile oil. A. are artifacts, produced from colorless sesquiterpenes, the proazulenes (Fig.). The compounds have antiinflammatory properties. Prepared camomile oil contains up to 15 % cha-... 

Gyanchandani [85] has thus chromatographed caraway seed oil and dill oil under standard conditions and determined the position of the limonene epoxide (1,2) which had been formed by autoxidation of limonene. Nigam, Sahasrabudhe and Levi [185] have detected piperitone oxide in peppermint oils in a similar way. Attention has been drawn repeatedly to the bisabolene oxides I, II and III along with chamazulene in the assessment of camomile oils [78, 224, 305, 306]. 

Aliphatic esters in various combinations play a major part in many flavors, particularly fruit flavors 441), Hexyl acetate develops the strongest and most typical odor in Cox s Orange Pippin apples (279). Hexyl 2-methylbutyrate contributes highly to the flavor of Golden Delicious apples (265). Methyl and ethyl esters of ( )-3-hexenoic, (Z)-4-decenoic (32) and )- and (Z)-4-octenoic acids have some importance in the flavor of pineapple 408). Methyl (Z)-4-decenoate (32) and methyl thiohexanoate account for about 56% of the odor provided by the components of the oxygenated fraction of hop oil 202). Ethyl (jE, Z)-2,4-decadienoate (35) is considered as the character impact compound in the aroma of Bartlett pears (227) (Table 2). The application of this pear ester in reconstitution work has been facilitated by the development of highly stereospecific syntheses 405, 407, 457). Isobutyl an-gelate is considered as an essential constituent of Roman camomile oil 85). 

All essential oils from anise, hyssop, thyme, ginger, camomile and sandalwood possess virucidal activity against HSV-2 mainly before adsorption probably by interacting with the viral envelope (Koch et al. 2008). Camomile oil exhibited a high selectivity index and seems to be a promising candidate for topical therapeutic application as virucidal agents for treatment of herpes genitalis (Koch et al. 2008).
