Apricot Kernel FAQ
- ●
What is Organic Apricot Kernel Extract Powder?
Our Organic Apricot Kernel Extract Powder is a concentrated ingredient derived from the kernels (seeds) of certified organic apricots (Prunus armeniaca). It is specifically processed to enrich and standardize its content of a natural compound called Amygdalin.
- ●
What is Amygdalin (sometimes referred to as ‘Vitamin B17’ or Laetrile)?
Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside found in apricot kernels and other Prunus species. It is known for its characteristic bitter taste. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis (e.g., in the body or during processing), amygdalin can release hydrogen cyanide. The terms ‘Vitamin B17’ and ‘Laetrile’ are often associated with amygdalin, but it is not recognized as a vitamin by scientific or regulatory bodies.
- ●
How is your Organic Apricot Kernel Extract standardized for Amygdalin content?
This Organic Apricot Kernel Extract is standardized to contain a specific percentage of Amygdalin, commonly ranging from lower concentrations up to high purities like 98% Amygdalin, as measured by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Please check the COA for the specific grade’s standardization.
- ●
How is the Amygdalin content verified?
The Amygdalin content is accurately quantified using validated High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) methods. This ensures the potency and consistency of our extract, with verified results documented on the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each batch.
- ●
What does ‘Organic’ certification mean for this extract?
Certified organic means the apricot kernels were sourced from fruit grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or irradiation. The extraction process also adheres to strict organic handling and processing standards (e.g., USDA NOP, EU Organic), aiming for a pure product.
- ●
What are the intended B2B applications for Organic Apricot Kernel Extract (Amygdalin)?
Due to the properties of Amygdalin, this extract is primarily supplied for research and development purposes, specific analytical applications, or potentially in very controlled topical cosmetic formulations (where dermal absorption and safety are thoroughly assessed). Its use in oral supplements or food products is highly restricted or prohibited in many regions due to safety concerns.
- ●
What are the critical safety considerations and regulatory status for Amygdalin?
CRITICAL WARNING: Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside that releases hydrogen cyanide, a potent toxin, upon hydrolysis. Ingestion of products high in amygdalin can lead to severe cyanide poisoning and is potentially fatal. Major regulatory bodies (like FDA, EFSA) do NOT approve amygdalin/laetrile for medicinal use and warn against its consumption. This product is NOT intended for unregulated internal human consumption.
- ●
Is the Organic Apricot Kernel Extract tested for contaminants?
Yes, comprehensive testing is performed. Each batch is tested for Amygdalin potency, heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury), pesticide residues (to meet organic standards), microbial contamination, and residual solvents to ensure it meets specifications for its intended (primarily non-oral) applications.
- ●
Is the manufacturing facility GMP certified?
Yes, our Organic Apricot Kernel Extract is produced in facilities that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) appropriate for the production of botanical extracts and purified compounds, ensuring quality and traceability.
- ●
Are Halal or Kosher certifications applicable or available?
Given the primary use for R&D or specific controlled applications, Halal or Kosher certifications are less commonly sought for high-amygdalin extracts but may be possible depending on processing. Please inquire if this is a specific requirement.
- ●
What are the storage recommendations for this extract?
Store the powder in a cool (below 25°C), dry, dark place, in its original tightly sealed container, and handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions due to the nature of Amygdalin. Protect from moisture and air. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months under proper storage.
- ●
What is the appearance and solubility of Amygdalin-rich extract?
High-purity Amygdalin is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder. It has a characteristic bitter almond-like taste. Amygdalin is soluble in water and ethanol. Specifics are on the product data sheet.
- ●
Is this Organic Apricot Kernel Extract suitable for vegan/vegetarian use (in appropriate applications)?
Yes, being derived solely from organic apricot kernels (plant source) and processed without animal-derived ingredients, the extract itself is suitable for vegan and vegetarian considerations within its very limited and controlled application scope.
- ●
What technical documentation (COA, Organic Cert) is provided?
We provide comprehensive technical documentation to qualified B2B clients for research or approved applications, including Certificates of Analysis (COA with HPLC results for Amygdalin), Specification Sheets, the Organic Certificate, and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet).
- ●
Are samples available for laboratory evaluation?
Yes, samples of our Organic Apricot Kernel Extract, standardized for Amygdalin, are available in small quantities for qualified researchers and B2B clients for analytical testing and R&D purposes within appropriate safety guidelines. Please contact our sales team.
- ●
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Organic Amygdalin Extract?
Due to its specialized nature and the potency of Amygdalin, the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) often starts from smaller research-appropriate quantities (e.g., grams or tens of grams) up to kilograms for specific B2B projects. Please inquire for details.
