The Jordanian chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) has been researched more thoroughly to evaluate
its useful properties. It is investigated and found that Jordanian chamomile is rich in phenolic compounds, with
beneficial biological activities. By applying the most promising HPLC method, the content of total phenolics
in methanolic extract was determined according to the Folin-Clocalteu procedure, and was found (GAE>20
mg/g.) The flavonoid types were found as flavones and flavonolos.The minimum inhibitory concentration
values for methanolic extracts of Jordanian chamomile were determined for different kinds of bacteria. The
extracts have activity against Staphylococcus aurous, candida albicans, Esherichia Coli, Betula pubescens and
Pinus sylvestris. The activity has been observed to be due to the tannins and a pigenin present in the extract.
To utilize these significant sources of natural compounds, further characterization of phenolic composition
is needed.
Key words: Biological activity, chamomile, extracts, folin-clocalteu procedure, GAE, methanolic, HPLC, phenolic, tannins
