Catechin and the proanthocyanidin prodelphinidin B3 are, respectively, the major monomeric and dimeric flavan-3-ols found in barley and malt where prodelphinidin B3 is the main contributor for the radical scavenging activity [Dvorakova et al., 2007], Proanthocyanidins have also been detected in nuts. Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) and pecans (Carya illinoensis) are particularly rich in proanthocyanidins containing ca. 5 g kg, whereas almonds (Prunus dulcis) and pistachios (Pistachio vera) contain 1.8-2.4 mg kg 1, walnuts (Juglans spp.) ca. 0.67 g kg, roasted peanuts (Arachis hypgaea) 0.16 g kg, and cashews (Anarcardium occidentale) 0.09 g kg 1 [Crozier et al., 2006c]. Dark chocolate derived from the roasted seeds of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is also a rich source of procyanidins [Gu et al., 2004], Monomeric flavan-3-ols and the proanthocyanidin B2, B5 dimers, and Q trimer are found in fresh cocoa beans (Fig. 1.13). Flavan-3-ols have also been detected in mint...

Almond Prunus dulcis, P. amygdalis, Amygdalis communis). Almond oil is generally considered as an oleic-rich oil (65-70%), but its fatty acid composition can vary widely. The triacylglycerol composition of the oil has also been reported. Low-saturated, high-monounsamrated oils show high oxidative and cold weather stability (i.e., they are slow to deposit crystals) (65, 66). 

Almond oil consists chiefly of glycerides of oleic acid, with smaller amounts of linoleic and palmitic acids. The PhEur 2005 describes almond oil as the fatty oil obtained by cold expression from the ripe seeds of Prunus dulcis (Miller) DA Webb var. dulcis or Prunus dulcis (Miller) DA Webb var. amara (DC) Buchheim or a mixture of both varieties. A suitable antioxidant may be added. 

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.

Bitter varieties of almonds Prunus dulcis), formerly marketed as a supplement for persons with cancer, also contain the cyanogenic glycoside amygdalin (0.2% cyanide), while commonly consumed sweet varieties of almonds have only trace amounts of the compound (Dicenta et al. 2002). Concerns listed for bitter apricot also apply to bitter almond (Shragg et al. 1982).

FIGURE 5. Total plant production of Prunus dulcis growing in large lysimeters. Plants were harvested after 1, 2, 3, and 4 years of growth. The lysimeters were watered with 2.5, 5, and 7.5 m water per year. 

Ten percent (by weight) melissa oil (active) or sun ower oil (placebo), combined with a base lotion Prunus dulcis oil, glycerine, stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol, and tocopheryl acetate), was dispensed in metered doses and applied to the face and both arms twice daily for 4 weeks by a care assistant, the process taking 1-2 min. The patients also received neuroleptic treatment and other conventional treatments when necessary this was therefore, a study of complementary aromatherapy treatment—not an alternative treatment.
