Nut Oils #1197028

The bitter almond tree (Prunus dulcis, var. amara) also produces an almond, but broader and shorter in shape. From these is produced a lesser quality of the fixed oil along with an emulsion which yields glucose, cyanide, and the essential oil of bitter almonds, which is nearly pure benzaldehyde.

The health benefits of bitter almond essential oil can be attributed to its properties as a vermifuge, febrifuge, bactericidal, germicidal, fungicidal, sedative, anesthetic, aperient, diuretic, anti-intoxicating, anti-carcinogenic, and antispasmodic substance.

Almonds and almond oil date back to pre-biblical times and were mentions in the bible as well. The benefits of almond oil were well known in Greece and Italy prior to the Christian era. Almonds were mentioned in old Greek mythology, as well as in classical Shakespearean writings. Domestic almonds are said to have first appeared during the bronze age, between 3000 and 2000 B.C. and were one of the earliest domestic trees used for their seeds and oil.

Tree produce large, smooth almonds and offers 60-65% edible kernel per nut. The tuono has thicker, hairier shells and offers only 32% of edible kernel per nut, but having a thick shell has advantages. The Tuonos shell protects the nut from threatening pests such as the naval orange worm. ARS researchers have managed to crossbreed the pest-resistant Tuono tree with Nonpareil, resulting in hybridized cultivars of almond trees that are self-pollinated and maintain a high nut quality. the new, self-pollinating hybrids possess quality skin color, flavor, and oil content, and reduce almond growers dependency on insect pollination.

hazelnut, (genus corylus), also called filbert, cobnut, or hazel, genus of about 15 species of shrubs and trees in the birch family (betulaceae) and the edible nuts they produce. the plants are native to the north temperate zone. several species are of commercial importance for their nuts, and a number are valuable hedgerow and ornamental trees grown for their colorful autumnal foliage. an oil from the european filbert, or common hazel (corylus avellana), is used in food products, perfumes, and soaps; the tree yields a reddish white soft timber, useful for small articles such as tool handles and walking sticks.

hazelnut (corylus avellana) is widely used in food production in raw, roasted, salted, and paste form. proteins are key components conferring favorable sensory, technological, and functional properties to hazelnut. hazelnut (corylus avellana l.) is an important crop with a global production exceeding 800, 000 metric tons accounting for an economical value of more than $800 million. the attractive and typical aroma of roasted hazelnuts has been intensively investigated.

Aleurites moluccana (L.) Willd., also known as candlenut, is one of the worlds great domesticated multipurpose trees. It is native to the Indo-Malaysia region and was introduced throughout the Pacific islands in ancient times. In Indonesia, it has long been grown for both subsistence and commercial purposes, sustaining peoples everyday lives, especially in the eastern part of the country. The species can be used for various purposes; the seeds provide material for lighting, cooking and pharmaceuticals, and the trunk is used for timber. Aleurites moluccana is distributed across almost all islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Despite this wide distribution, and although the species is easy to grow, it has not been planted in large-scale plantations. It is extensively cultivated in home gardens, and in and around farms.

Aleurites moluccana can grow on a variety of soils, including red loams, stony clay ground, sand and limestone. The tree requires free drainage. It grows on lightly acidic to alkaline soils with a pH of 58. It is also quite drought tolerant and can even grow well on relatively poor sites if it is well established with enough soil moisture available, particularly during establishment. It flourishes in

Arachis hypogaea, also known as peanut, groundnut, earthnut, goober, goober pea, pindas, jack nut, pinder, manila nut, and monkey nut, is the source ofpeanut oil. Since peanut oil is pressed from peanuts, it has been questioned whether peanut oil contains peanut allergens. However, highly refined peanut oil is different from peanuts when it comes to allergy, because it undergoes a refining process in which it is purified, bleached, and deodorized, and it is generally believed that it is not allergenic. Arachis oilis a refined oil from peanutsArachis hypogaea.It is primarily used as alaxativeand given as an enema. It lubricates and softensimpacted feces. It is also used as an excipient for many pharmaceutical products, includingdimercaprol, colpermin, natural and synthetic sex steroids, and many skin creams such as zinc, castor oil, andcalamine; it is a constituent of some infantshampoosused for cradle cap and for chlorhexadineWeeks. Refined peanut oil appears to carry little or no risk of allergy, but there remains a small risk that it may sensitize individuals to allergenic peanut proteins. Peanut oiluses includecooking and frying oil, preparation of shortenings, margarines, andmayonnaise. Some salad oil use is found, and use in pourable dressings is good because of the length of time solids are held in suspension in the oil. However, peanut oildoes not meet the strict terminology for salad oil because it solidifies at 03C. As a cooking oil, especially indeep-fat frying, groundnut oilis excellent since it has a smoke point of 229.4C. Refined groundnut oil is odorless, whereas crude oil usually has a nut-like aroma.Groundnut oildevelops few off-flavors or odors in use as a frying oil, but degradation ofglyceridesduring frying results in the increase offree fatty acids(FFA) and a decrease in smoke point.

Essential oils are distilled from the aromatic leaves, bark, and roots of plants. If applied to the skin directly, they can cause reactions, such as severe irritation, redness or burning.

Carrier oils and essential oils are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and carry them to skin. Thats because essential oils are potent and can cause irritation when applied directly to skin. Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and dont interfere with an essential oils therapeutic properties. They may be used alone or with other oils to nourish skin.

Carrier oils are used to dilute the essential oils and help carry them into the skin. Aloe vera gels and unscented body lotion are also sometimes used as carriers.

To be used in aromatherapy, it is recommended that the oil is obtained through cold pressing. In this process, the oil is extracted by crushing the plants. Users claim that the fragile nutrients in the oil can be damaged if they are extracted with heat. Venkatramnas carrier Oils are extracted from the Cold Pressed method to retain their properties.
