Bitter almond oil, derived from the seeds of the Prunus amygdalus var. amara (bitter almond), is a pale yellow to colorless liquid with a characteristic almond scent. It primarily contains benzaldehyde, which is responsible for its distinct aroma, along with other compounds such as amygdalin, which can release cyanide upon hydrolysis. The oil is known for its potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, although it should be used with caution due to its toxicity in large amounts. Bitter almond oil is often utilized in perfumery, flavoring, and traditional medicine, but its use is regulated in many regions due to safety concerns. The oil is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it suitable for various applications in cosmetics and food industries. Proper handling and storage are essential to prevent degradation and ensure safety, as the oil can be hazardous if ingested or improperly used.
