| Introduction | The Sweet Almond is published in the "new", for the Rosaceae plant apricot (Prunus Manus shurica) or apricot Prunus armeL. var- ansu Maxim) part of the cultivated species sweet dry seeds, also known as South apricot, the main production of Northeast, North China provinces, sex flat, non-toxic, and sweet almond fat content in an average of 50%-60%. Almonds are rich in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. According to the food composition table compiled by Institute of Health, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Almond contains 35%-50% fat per one hundred grams, its protein content of 25%- 27%, and more than 95% of linoleic acid, linolenic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids; At the same time, rich in vitamins and mineral elements, including magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium content was 6 times, 7 times, 3 times, 4 times of milk; Selenium content was 27.6mg/100g, with the role of improving immunity and prolonging life; in the rich mineral content, in addition to the more abundant selenium content, almonds also contain more abundant vitamin bi, B2 and carotene; Sweet almonds can be directly edible, bitter almonds must be detoxified (oxycyanic acid) before consumption. sweet almond oil has certain health care and anti-cancer effects, whether fresh or processed, it is favored by people. As the sweet almond oil contains up to 95.41% of unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid accounted for 72.51%, linoleic acid accounted for 22.90%, so it has rich nutritional value and good medicinal value. |
| Main components | almond oil is mainly composed of oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, A mixed glyceride composed of higher fatty acids such as linolenic acid, which contains little saturated fatty acid and more than 90% unsaturated fatty acid. The components of almond oil were analyzed by gas chromatography, liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The fatty acid composition of almond oil was analyzed by GC/MS. The results showed that there were 11 kinds of fatty acids in almond oil, mainly oleic acid 63.39%, linoleic acid 28.79%, in which the content of unsaturated fatty acid was 95.54%. Konglingming analysis showed that almond oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid accounted for 96.64% of the total fatty acids. Almond oil also contains a variety of vitamins, amino acids and minerals. |
| Source | sweet almond oil is a neutral base oil, which is derived from the pressing of apricot fruit, produced in the Mediterranean region of Greece, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain and North Africa, rich in oleic acid (olein), is one of the most widely used vegetable oils. |
| efficacy and function | sweet almond oil is easy to absorb, rich in vitamins, has the magic effect of nourishing and moisturizing, soothing and anti-allergic effects; Sweet almond oil is a kind of skin care and moisturizing effect of vegetable oil, for dry skin or due to climate change caused by skin discomfort problem is very beneficial, can promote cell growth, suitable for dry, sensitive, inflamed and dull skin, it is a natural wetting agent; Sweet almond oil can make the skin return to smooth and thin, if long-term use can effectively eliminate stretch marks. Because sweet almond oil is extremely mild, so even infants can use, in addition to excessive exercise caused by Myalgia, if the sweet almond oil massage can strengthen the cell with oxygen function, eliminate fatigue and carbonic acid accumulation, with analgesic and reduce the role of stimulation; Sweet almond oil is also a very good care product that can soften and repair the dry skin around the nails, which can strengthen the nails and prevent the dry skin from becoming hard! In addition, oral sweet almond oil can defecate, reduce blood cholesterol levels, prevent heart disease, improve diabetes and other effects. |
| application field | sweet almond oil is mainly composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, and the total content of the two is more than 91%, among them, the sum of monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids can reach more than 95%, and the sum of monounsaturated fatty acids can reach more than 70%. In addition, sweet almond oil also contains vitamin E, including a-tocopherol and Y-tocopherol. because sweet almond oil has a very good nutritional function, it is often used as a natural high-grade edible oil and sweet almond oil has been widely used in cosmetics at home and abroad, such as xiangdao, milk honey, cream and other uses it as a natural additive use, it not only for the product to increase the anti-aging and emollient effect, but also for the product to increase its unique fragrance. |
| extraction process | almond oil extraction process Research reports more, the fatty acid composition and physicochemical index analysis of almond oil extracted by different methods were studied. In this paper, the solvent reflux extraction method, cold soaking method, supercritical CO2 extraction method and hot pressing method were used to extract almond oil, the obtained oils were analyzed by gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and physicochemical indexes. Among the above extraction methods, the solvent reflux extraction method and the cold dip method are limited in their application in the food industry due to the problem of solvent residue and solvent loss; although there is no solvent residue in the oil obtained by supercritical CO2 method, its application is limited due to the shortcomings of large one-time investment and large energy consumption of the equipment; hot pressing method will be the best method for almond oil extraction because it has no solvent residue problem, low investment and high extraction efficiency. Thus, in terms of extraction efficiency and energy consumption, hot pressing is the best method for an economical, efficient, high quality almond oil extraction. |
| Usage | sweet almond oil usage: as aromatherapy base oil and massage oil, can also be used as a salad and cold dish. Heating destroys its nutrients. |
| preservation method | sweet almond oil is not easy to be preserved and easily oxidized. The storage method is in a cool and dry place, and the storage time can be extended to one year. |
