Processing is a traditional pharmacy technology based on traditional Chinese medicine theory. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ingredients should be processed before being used as a medicine. Processed bitter almonds are widely used in the clinic in TCM for the treatment of cough and asthma. In this work the amygdalin profile of three producing areas in China was determined, with respect ...

Amygdalin is a cynaogenic diglucoside responsible for the bitterness of almonds. Almonds display three flavor phenotypes, nonbitter, semibitter, and bitter. Herein, the amygdalin content of 20 varieties of nonbitter, semibitter, and bitter almonds from four primary growing regions of California was determined using solid-phase extraction and ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography electrospray...

The study used bitter almonds (Amygdalus communis L. Varietas amara D.C.) obtained by cold pressing medicinal nails grown in Navoi region using oil (Calendula officinalis L.) - with the participation of flowers, extraction process was carried out maceration (in a ratio 1:10). resulting extract studied its elemental composition, chromatographic analysis fatty acids, microbiological purity, chemi...

Amygdalin is a cyanogenic diglucoside and constitutes the bitter component in bitter almond (Prunus dulcis). Amygdalin concentration increases in the course of fruit formation. The monoglucoside prunasin is the precursor of amygdalin. Prunasin may be degraded to hydrogen cyanide, glucose, and benzaldehyde by the action of the β-glucosidase prunasin hydrolase (PH) and mandelonitirile lyase or be...

The blossoms of the almond tree are very susceptible to frost. -As the almond blooms earlier than other orchard fruits it is often subjected to much more severe frosts than occur during the blooming period of the later fruits. As a result of this tenderness of the blossoms and the early period of blooming the crop secured is materially decreased. With the hope of improving our present varietie...
