Abstract

Almond oil is a functional vegetable oil obtained from apricot kernel by pressing, extracting and other technologies, which has the effects of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In this review, the extraction process, nutritional composition and health effect of almond oil were summarized, and the future development tendency of almond oil was prospected.
