Organic bitter apricot seed powder offers a wide range of health benefits, making it a valuable addition to various health products. Here's some of them:
• Cough Suppression and Bronchodilation: Rich in amygdalin, bitter apricot seed powder produces hydrogen cyanide and benzaldehyde upon enzymatic hydrolysis, which exert an inhibitory effect on the respiratory center, effectively relieving cough frequency and severity, alleviating bronchial spasms, and promoting mucus clearance. It is commonly used as an adjuvant therapy for coughs caused by colds and bronchitis.
• Laxative Effect: The abundant dietary fiber and plant fats in bitter apricot seed powder stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase stool bulk, and lubricate the intestinal tract. This combined action helps alleviate constipation by reducing stool transit time and lowering the risk of constipation.
• Cholesterol Reduction and Cardiovascular Protection: The unsaturated fatty acids, particularly monounsaturated fatty acids, in bitter apricot seed powder help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. This contributes to cardiovascular health prevention and reduces the incidence of heart disease and stroke.
• Nutritional Supplementation and Immune Enhancement: Packed with proteins, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E, and B vitamins, bitter apricot seed powder provides comprehensive nutritional support, meeting the body's daily nutritional needs and enhancing immunity to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
• Antioxidant Properties: The various active ingredients in bitter apricot seed powder, such as vitamin E, possess strong antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals to protect cells from oxidative damage. This helps delay skin aging, maintain skin elasticity and luster, and prevent cellular damage and disease.
• Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Effects: The benzaldehyde produced from amygdalin hydrolysis forms benzoic acid through the action of benzoin condensing enzyme, which exhibits analgesic properties. Additionally, certain components in bitter apricot seed extracts possess anti-inflammatory activity, helping to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
• Blood Sugar Regulation: The polyphenols in bitter apricot seed powder stimulate insulin secretion and enhance tissue glucose utilization, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Food Industry
• Bakery Products: As an ingredient in cookies and biscuits, bitter apricot seed powder enhances the flavor and nutritional value of baked goods, resulting in a more delicious and nutritious treat.
• Beverages: It is used to create beverages such as almond milk, offering a nutritious and unique taste experience.
• Specialty Dishes: In the culinary world, bitter apricot is a popular ingredient for specialty dishes like bitter apricot porridge and stews. It not only enhances the flavor but also leverages its medicinal properties.
Pharmaceutical Industry
• Traditional Chinese Medicine: In traditional Chinese medicine, bitter apricot is renowned for its lung-moistening, cough-relieving, and bowel-softening properties. It is commonly used to treat coughs, asthma, and constipation.
• Modern Medicine: The active compounds in bitter apricot, such as amygdalin, can be extracted and used in pharmaceutical products to exert pharmacological effects such as cough suppression, pain relief, and anti-inflammation.
Cosmetics Industry
