title: [Contribution to the phytochemical study of polyphenols in ten hydroalcoholic extracts of Chamomile floss].
abstract: Continuing a series of studies that intend to evaluate the pharmaceutical quality of 10 commercial samples of chamomile, we tried to investigate the chemical composition of the hydroalcoholic extracts obtained in our laboratory, starting from this raw material.
  
  
  METHODS
  The qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of the extracts was done by HPLC means.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All extractive solutions have a high content in ferulic acid, whereas the caffeic acid level is the lowest. Regarding the flavonoids, there are many quantitative differences between the samples: one extract lacking the rutoside and two of them having low apigenin-7-glucoside contents.
