Use
Bitter almond oil (free from hydrogen cyanide) contains benzaldehyde as its
main component. Benzaldehyde does not occur as such in the plant, but is formed,
together with hydrogen cyanide, by the hydrolytic cleavage of the glycoside amygdalin.
Amygdalin is present in bitter almonds, the seeds of Prunus dulcis var. amara
(DC.) Buchheim, and ripe apricot kernels, Prunus armeniaca L. (Rosaceae).The
press cake, which remains after removal of the fatty oils, is macerated with water
and left to stand for several hours, after which the “essential oil” is separated
by steam distillation. The crude oil contains 2–4% hydrogen cyanide, which
is removed by washing with alkaline solutions of iron(II) salts. Subsequent
redistillation yields an oil free from hydrogen cyanide. It is a colorless to slightly
yellow liquid with an intense, almond-like, cherry aroma and a slightly astringent, mild taste.
