<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Apricot oil&#039;&#039;&#039; is pressed from the [[kernel]]s of the &#039;&#039;[[Prunus armeniaca]]&#039;&#039; ([[apricot]]). The kernels have an oil content of 40-50%. The oil is similar to [[almond oil]] and [[peach oil]], both of which are also extracted from the kernels of the respective fruit. Apricot oil is much cheaper than [[almond oil]], and is used similarly in [[cosmetics]] to soften skin. It is sometimes added (fraudulently) to genuine almond oil and used in the manufacture of soaps, cold creams and other preparations of the perfumery trade.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/a/apric050.html|title=Apricot}} from [http://www.botanical.com/ Botanical.com]&lt;/ref&gt;Specifically, apricot oil can be used on the scalp to improve its condition.<br /> <br /> The [[seed cake]] is also used separately to extract an [[essential oil]], which contains [[Amygdalin]] - a colorless crystalline [[glucoside]].<br /> <br /> The oil is chiefly composed of [[oleic acid]] and [[linoleic acid]], both of which are [[unsaturated fat]]s.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{vegetable-oil-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Vegetable oils]]</div>
