Bitter Almond Extract VS Almond Extract

In the field of plant extracts, although bitter almond extract and sweet almond extract differ by only one word, they exhibit distinctly different characteristics in terms of efficacy value, application scenarios, and safety specifications due to the essential differences in raw material varieties and core components.

Compared with ordinary almond extract, Healthkintai^®’s Bitter Almond Extract is rich in core bioactive components such as amygdalin, while ordinary almond extract is mainly composed of basic nutritional components like protein and fat with relatively low content of active substances. In contrast, bitter almond extract is more suitable as a core raw material for functional foods, dietary supplements, and herbal preparations.

We can provide you with 5%, 10%, 80%, and 98% Amygdalin Bitter Almond Extract Powder.(Other specifications can be custom-made.) If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at health@kintaibio.com.

Bitter Almond Extract VS Almond Extract: Raw materials and Essence

Selected from the dried mature seeds of Prunus sibirica L. and Prunus mandshurica Koehne of the Rosaceae family, which are grown in the premium producing regions such as Chengde and Inner Mongolia in China, Healthkintai^®’s Bitter Almond Extract also includes raw materials from our proprietary cultivated high-activity medicinal apricot varieties. It is naturally abundant in high levels of amygdalin and boasts outstanding medicinal value. Although the raw material inherently contains trace amounts of toxicity, it can fully meet the safety standards after being processed with our professional detoxification technology.

The almond extract is derived from the seeds of Prunus armeniaca L. (common sweet apricot) belonging to the Rosaceae family, with major production areas covering Xinjiang and Shandong in China. Naturally non-toxic, it has an extremely low amygdalin content (usually ≤0.1%), almost no active effects corresponding to amygdalin, and no special pharmacological activity value.

Bitter Almond Extract VS Almond Extract: Processing Techniques

Comparison Dimensions	Bitter Almond Extract (Core Promoted Product)	Almond Extract
Process Focus	Water extraction and alcohol precipitation, as well as ultrasound-assisted extraction, are adopted to avoid the loss of amygdalin activity. Subsequent multiple rounds of precise HPLC detection are conducted to strictly control indicators such as amygdalin purity, free cyanide content, and heavy metals.	It focuses on controlling moisture and microbial indicators to prevent oil oxidation, without the need for detoxification or precise control of active ingredients.

Bitter Almond Extract VS Almond Extract: Benefits and Mechanism of Action

Comparison Dimensions	Bitter Almond Extract (Core Promoted Product)	Almond Extract
Core Benefits	Relying on the exclusive pharmacological activity of high-purity amygdalin, it achieves two core effects: relieving cough and asthma and moistening the intestines to promote defecation, with direct and targeted results. Meanwhile, amygdalin synergizes with amino acids and fatty oils to exert significant antioxidant and immune-regulating potential. It is a core preferred raw material in the pharmaceutical and functional health product fields, with efficacy value far exceeding that of ordinary almond extract.	Focuses only on basic nutritional supplementation and mild nourishment, with simple moisturizing and antioxidant effects. It emphasizes skin care and daily dietary nutrition enhancement, without targeted pharmacological efficacy, and cannot replace the functional value of bitter almond extract with relatively basic application scenarios.
Mechanism of Action	The purity of amygdalin in our product is controllable. It is precisely hydrolyzed in the intestines to produce trace hydrogen cyanide, which gently inhibits the respiratory center, reduces its sensitivity to carbon dioxide, quickly relieves bronchial smooth muscle spasm, and improves cough and asthma symptoms. The fatty oils in the extract synergize with amygdalin to form a protective film in the intestines, lubricate the intestines, soften feces, gently stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and moisten the intestines for defecation without dependence.	It achieves basic moisturizing and antioxidant effects through unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, supplements daily human nutrition with plant proteins and minerals, and assists in regulating intestinal flora with dietary fiber. The ingredients are mild but have single efficacy, without exclusive active mechanism support, and its functionality is far inferior to that of bitter almond extract.

Bitter Almond Extract VS Almond Extract: Applications

Healthkintai^®'s Bitter Almond Extract, relying on high-purity amygdalin, caters to high-end needs across multiple fields:

Products with 98%-99% high purity can serve as pharmaceutical intermediates for the R&D of respiratory drugs and the preparation of high-efficiency formulations for treating chronic bronchitis and asthma; products with 50% medium purity, after compliant detoxification, are used in functional health products focusing on respiratory care and intestinal regulation; products with 10% low purity are applied in daily chemical products, achieving dual effects of nourishment and anti-aging through amygdalin’s antioxidant activity, featuring prominent scenario pertinence and value.

Almond extract is only suitable for basic scenarios:

In the food field, it is used in baking, nut products, and beverages to enhance flavor and basic nutrition; in the daily chemical field, it is applied in ordinary skin care and hair care products to exert moisturizing and nourishing effects; in the dietary supplement field, it is only used for basic nutrition enhancement and cannot meet high-end scenario requirements.
