The exclusive cultivation of bitter almonds on special plantations is used to extract the bitter almond essential oil,<\/span> ( Prunus amygdalus amara kernel oil). The oil is freed from hydrocyanic acid compounds (“debittered”).<\/p>\n The almond tree<\/b>(Prunus dulcis<\/i>, older synonym: Amygdalus communis L.<\/i>) is a plant species<\/a> of the genus<\/a> Prunus<\/a><\/i> in the rose<\/a> family (Rosaceae). Its seeds<\/a>, the almonds<\/b>, also known as almond kernels<\/b>, are used as a food and cosmetic. The species name dulcis<\/i> “sweet” refers to the sweet core \u2013 with the bitter almonds Var. Amara<\/i>, from Latin amarus<\/i> “bitter”.<\/p>\n Bitter almonds are mainly used for alcoholic beverages (Amaretto).<\/strong> They give it the specific taste note and also the bitter almond oil, as a baking ingredient is known. The content of hydrogen cyanide in bitter almonds is up to 3,000 milligrams per 100 kilos.<\/p>\n Extraction of bitter almond Essential oil:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The ground seeds are first freed from the fatty oil by pressing and then the bitter almond oil with water vapor is distilled from the pressed cake macerated with water.<\/p>\n The main component of the uncleanoiled oil is benzaldehyde with approx. 95 benzaldehyde, in addition it contains 2 to 4 hydrogen cyanide and almond acid nitril, benzoin and aldehyde resin. If you mix the distillate with wine spirit, bitter almond water is produced; Almond acid nitril dissolved in water and wine spirit- Essential water.<\/p>\n Hydrogen cyanide-free bitter almond oil is produced by shaking with lime milk and iron sulfate, which forms calcium iron(II) cyanide. This is followed by further steam distillation.<\/p>\n It is used as spice oil in the pastry shop and bakery, in liqueur production, also generally for food additives and perfume. Good also for seasoning (sparsam!!).<\/p>\n This hydrogen cyanide-free bitter almond oil consists of benzaldehyde to over 99 and contains other proportions only in traces; therefore pure benzaldehyde is also referred to as “artificial bitter almond oil” (Oleum Amygdalarum aethereum artificiale).<\/p>\n Ingredients: Prunus amygdalus amara kernel oil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 3ml<\/strong><\/p>\n Biol.Name:<\/strong> Prunus amygdalus amara kernel oil.<\/p>\n Origin:<\/strong> Tunisia<\/p>\n Plant part:<\/strong> Nuts of the almond tree<\/p>\n Manufacture: Water vapour distillation<\/p>\n The marzipan scent par excellence.
