Regulatory Status of Bitter Almond Extract

Processed Extracts: Commercially produced almond extracts (pure or natural) are regulated for safety, ensuring cyanide levels are negligible, say MCHIP and AllSpice Culinarium.

Bitter Almond Extract Powder Botanical Source

Our amygdalin powder is sourced from the dried ripe seeds of Prunus sibirica L. harvested in the core production area of Chengde, Hebei Province.

Blessed with a unique temperate continental climate, a growth environment featuring significant day-night temperature differences, and loose, well-aerated sandy soil, Chengde enables the seed kernels to yield an amygdalin content far exceeding the industry average. Leveraging the region’s large-scale wild and semi-wild planting resources, we ensure a stable and consistent supply of raw materials.

How to Make Bitter Almond Extract Powder

Equipped with advanced low-temperature extraction and multi-stage purification technologies, we maximize the retention of bioactive components while strictly controlling the content of free cyanide, thus guaranteeing the product’s safety and compliance. Compared with ordinary products, our amygdalin powder boasts three core advantages: high activity, high purity, and high safety, making it an ideal raw material for pharmaceutical R&D, high-end nutraceuticals, and daily chemical industries.

Bitter Almond Extract Benefits

The core efficacy of bitter almond extract is mainly exerted through the synergistic action of amygdalin, fatty oils, amino acids and other substances. Meanwhile, the dosage must be strictly controlled to avoid toxicity risks. Details are as follows:

Antitussive and Antiasthmatic Effect

Amygdalin generates trace amounts of hydrocyanic acid in the human body. Hydrocyanic acid can mildly inhibit the respiratory center, reduce its sensitivity to carbon dioxide, relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, and thereby alleviate cough and wheezing symptoms. At the same time, the fatty oils contained in the extract can lubricate the respiratory tract mucosa and reduce externally stimulated coughs. The two work synergistically to improve respiratory discomfort.

Laxative Effect

The rich fatty oils in the extract are not easily absorbed by the intestines after ingestion, and can form an oil film in the intestinal tract to soften dry feces and lubricate the intestinal wall. Meanwhile, fatty oils can gently stimulate intestinal peristalsis to accelerate feces excretion. This effect is mild and non-addictive.

Antioxidant and Immunomodulatory Potential

Amygdalin and amino acid components have certain antioxidant activity, which can scavenge excessive free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells, and delay cellular senescence. In addition, relevant studies have shown that amygdalin within the compliance dosage can help regulate the activity of immune cells and enhance the body’s resistance to pathogens.

What Is Bitter Almond Extract Amygdalina Used for?

The applications of bitter almond extract are classified based on its detoxification and purification processes, as well as amygdalin content specifications. Products with different purities are suitable for distinctly different scenarios, which are detailed as follows:

Pharmaceutical R&D Field

High-purity bitter almond extract (98%–99% HPLC) is used in the R&D and production of respiratory system drugs. Relying on the antitussive and antiasthmatic effects of amygdalin, it serves as an auxiliary raw material for manufacturing preparations targeting conditions such as chronic bronchitis and asthma.

Note: The content of free cyanide must be strictly controlled to comply with pharmacopoeia standards.

Dietary Supplement Field

Medium-purity extract (50% HPLC), after undergoing compliant detoxification, can be used as a raw material for dietary supplements, and is applied in the production of products focusing on respiratory tract care and intestinal regulation.

Note: The product must clearly label the maximum daily intake limit, and the use of non-standard names such as “Vitamin B17” is prohibited. It shall meet the nutraceutical regulatory requirements of the target market (e.g., EU EFSA, US FDA).

Daily Chemical Field

Low-purity extract (10% HPLC) is widely incorporated into the formulations of skin care and hair care products.

Its components including fatty oils and amino acids can moisturize the skin and improve dry hair conditions; the antioxidant property of amygdalin can also help resist oxidative damage to the skin caused by external environmental factors. This extract is commonly found in body lotions, hair conditioners, hand creams and other products.

Bitter Almond Extract Side Effects

The side effects of bitter apricot kernel extract are mainly caused by hydrocyanic acid produced from the hydrolysis of amygdalin contained in it. If the extract is not fully detoxified or is ingested in excessive doses, it will trigger a series of toxic reactions. Mild symptoms include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, bitter taste in the mouth and diarrhea; moderate to severe poisoning may lead to dyspnea, palpitations, hypotension and confusion, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening due to respiratory center paralysis.

In addition, a small number of people may be allergic to the protein or fatty oil components in the extract, and may experience allergic reactions such as skin itching and rashes after contact or ingestion. Therefore, the use of bitter apricot kernel extract must strictly follow the standard dosage, and priority should be given to products that have undergone professional detoxification and purification and meet safety standards.

FAQ

1. How to remove cyanide from bitter almonds?

Results showed that the four treatments can be used for the cyanide reduction of bitter almond. Baking, microwave, water boiling and ultrasonic treatments reduced the cyanide content by 79.4%, 87.2%, 98.3% and 98.4%, respectively. Ultra- sonic treatment was found to be optimal, with ultrasonic power of 700W for 50 min.

2. What are bitter almond poisoning symptoms？

Bitter almond poisoning causes cyanide toxicity with rapid onset symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, seizures, and loss of consciousness, progressing from mild to severe effects like coma or death, requiring immediate emergency medical care due to the body's inability to use oxygen.
