Prunus armeniaca kernel oil or apricot kernel oil is pressed from the kernels of the prunus armeniaca
(apricot). Apricot 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. The seed cake is also used separately to
extract an essential oil, which contains amygdalin - a colorless crystalline glucoside. The oil is chiefly
composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, both of which are unsaturated fats.
