It is then transferred to a cooling frame, perfumed with attar of bitter almonds, and then left for several days to set and ripen. 

The determination of aldehydes and ketones is of importance in the analysis of those essential oils characterised especially by aldehydic or ketoruc principles, e g.,the citral contained in lemon and lemongrass oils, citronellal in citronella Oil and some eucalyptus oils, benzaldehyde in bitter almond oil, salicylaldehyde in meadow-sweet oil, anisaldehyde in aniseed and fennel oils, cuminaldehyde m cumin oil, cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon oil, carvone in caraway oil, pulegone in pennyroyal oil and methyl nonyl ketone in rue oil The determination of the aldehydes and ketones presents, however, difficulties and the above methods are moderately exact in only a few cases, especially when the content of aldehydes or ketones is considerable The bisulphite method is applicable particularly to the determination of cinnamaldehyde and benzaldehyde in cinnamon oil and bitter almond oil, and, up to a certain pomt, to that of citral in lemongrass Oil. The sulphite method gives good results in the same cases and for the determination of carvone and pulegone...

Do not confuse sweet almond with bitter almond (Prunus amygdalus var umu. a). The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation after maceration of pressed nuts. A major component is benzaldehyde (95%), which is moderately toxic. Hydrocyanic acid is also formed, which is poisonous. It is not suitable for aromatherapy but is used in the food industry.

Almond oil is expressed from the seeds of the bitter or sweet almond, Prunus dulcis (Prunus amygdalus Amygdalus communis) var. amara or var. dulcis (Rosaceae). See also Section 4. 

Some plants from which volatile oils may be distilled do not contain the oil as such, but contain certain basal substances, which, under proper conditions, react with one another to form the oil. The oil may then be removed by the usual process. Examples of such oils are winter-green, sweet birch, bitter almond, and mustard. The chemical reaction that results in the formation of these oils is readily induced by simply macerating the material or soaking the ground or chopped material with water for a suitable period, after which distillation may proceed. The material is usually macerated in the tub of the still, so that no transfer of the mixture is necessary.
