Apricot Kernel Oil | Bookmark | ||||||
SWIS7 has used TFSE and is still unclear whether or not apricot kernel oil contains benzaldehyde or amygdalin and if so in what percentages? Stonium said that "Apricot and peach kernels contain constituents similar to those of the Bitter Almonds" Post 62522 (Stonium: "Re: Distillation of Bitter Almond Oil", Newbee Forum) and that amygdalin could be obtained from apricot kernels Post 63853 (Stonium: "Re: Distillation of Bitter Almond Oil", Newbee Forum), but there was no conclusion as to how much. Or what exactly makes up apricot kernel oil. SWIM figures that "100% cold pressed apricot kernel oil" would contain amygdalin and probably benzaldehyde. The reason SWIM asks is, he saw a bottle at the health food store. This is a new product where SWIS7 lives, the health food guy says the oil contains Vitimin B17, it is supposed to have anti-cancer properties. If it is intended for human consumption there might not bee any benzaldehyde in there, but the oil says it's pure natural etc. so it has probably not been messed with or distilled. I guess the old smell test is in order. SWIM will go shopping! SWIS7 the 21st of the 12th 2012...... |

Apricot Kernels Consumed as a food, for many the apricot kernel has been a preferred source of naturally occurring substances known to regulate the production of human chorionic gonadotrophic hormone, a marker for metastatic cancer process. Apricot kernels are also a rich source of benzaldehyde, which has natural pain regulating properties. Generally 1 kernel per 10 lbs. of body weight is used in an overall "IIMP" (Individualized Integrated Metabolic Program) at American Biologics-Mexico S.A. Medical Center and Hospital. Certified organic and sold as a food only. No special claims are made or implied. Found this text from one web page. A friend with speed is a friend indeed |

Probably no benzaldehyde. | Bookmark | ||||||
This is probably an oil made by pressing the kernels in which case I doubt that there will be any benzaldehyde. If you want benzaldehyde you need steam distiled oil. |

Virgin Apricot Kernel Oil | Bookmark | ||||||
The term 'virgin' used in this context simply means that the oil is produced is from the first pressing of the kernels. The kernels can be processed again to produce more oil, but only oil from the first pressing is 'virgin' oil. This product is of no real value for your purposes - as Terbium pointed out - pressed apricot kernel oils will be devoid of benzaldehyde. Oil marked as 'virgin' is definately cold pressed oil. Hope this helps, ...Anansi |
