Comparison of enzyme amount in daisy (Matricaria chamomilla L.and matricaria aurea L.) species growing in şanliurfa province

Our country has a suitable geographical location for the natural growth of chamomille in terms of climatic conditions. Chamomille is a plant that is used intensively in current treatments both medicinally and aromatically and is also of great interest to modern medicine. This plant, which has a wide and ancient use and equivalent in folk medicine, grows in a wide area in our country. In this study, Matricaria chamomilla L. and Matricaria aurea L. plant samples used as medicinal chamomile were collected from 6 different regions and chlorophyll, MDA, anthocyanin and enzyme (catalase, glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) analyses were performed. As a result of the evaluation of the analyses, the amount of chlorophyll, anthocyanin and ascorbate peroxidase activities of the enzymes catalase and ascorbate peroxidase in chamomile collected from 6 different regions were compared. Especially, Matricaria chamomilla samples were found to be higher in all parameters compared to Matricaria aurea samples. In Matricaria chamomilla samples, it was understood that the highest MDA, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase activities were in Birecik region, and the lowest MDA, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase activities were in Birecik region. Chlorophyll, anthocyanin, catalase and ascorbate peroxide were found to be positively significant and correlated with each other (P<0.5). MDA,
