  • What is sweet almond oil?
  • Sweet Almond oil is a versatile oil suitable for both culinary and skincare purposes. This oil is extracted from the desiccated kernels of almonds, renowned for its abundant reserves of Vitamin E and oleic acid. These qualities have made it a favored ingredient in cosmetic formulations and a dependable choice as a carrier oil for essential oils.
  • How to extract almond oil?
  • Some new technologies such as ultrasonic-assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, subcritical fluid extraction, and salt-assisted aqueous extraction have emerged as the most promising extraction techniques that allow eco-friendly and effective recovery of almond oil.
  • What is the acidity of almond oil extracted by cold press?
  • Acidity values of almond oils extracted by cold press changed between 1.17 mgKOH/100 g (Ferragnes) and 2.21 mgKOH/100 g (Cristomorto) while 0.96 mgKOH/100 g (Ferragnes) and 1.11 mgKOH/100 g (Cristomorto) were obtained for oils extracted by Soxhlet method.
  • What is the extraction of sweet almond oil at room temperature and reflux?
  • The extraction of sweet almond oil at room temperature and reflux is an easy and accessible procedure to obtain natural oil in a laboratory scale for undergraduates' courses in chemistry and related areas.
  • Can Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy be used to analyze sweet almond oil?
  • In this paper we show how the utilization of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be interesting in the qualitative analysis of these oils. We also propose the preparation of three different skin creams to demonstrate the effective uses of sweet almond oil in cosmetics and pharmaceutical fields.
  • Why are almond oil peroxide values higher from Soxhlet Method?
  • Higher values reported for peroxide value in almond oils from Soxhlet method may be linked to the effect of extraction method used. In addition, higher unsaponifiable matter values obtained from Soxhlet technique may be due to transfer of more matter into the oil from the seed by the extraction solvent used.
