Chemistry:Matricin
From HandWiki
Matricin is a colorless sesquiterpene found in the flowers of chamomille (Matricaria chamomilla).[1] Steam distillation during the processing of chamomille can convert matricin to chamazulene, a blue-violet derivative of azulene.[2][3] Oral ingestion of matricin results in chamazulene being found in blood plasma and artificial gastric fluid is able to convert matricin to chamazulene.[1]
