Preparation of Cosmetic Scrub Bases from Coffee Waste and Eco-Friendly Emulsifiers

Cosmetics
Only about 30% of coffee bean mass can be transformed into coffee drinks; thus, a larger fraction ends up as spent coffee grounds (SCGs), which have been mainly disposed of as waste. The promising direction of SCG reuse is in the cosmetic industry.

Colorimetric Determination of Cyanide Liberated from Apricot Kernels

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1977
Abstract A simple colorimetric method is described for determining the quantity of hydrogen cyanide produced by the spontaneous decomposition of amygdalin in apricot kernels. The evolved cyanide is collected in sodium hydroxide solution and assayed colorimetrically by reaction with picric acid. Results for duplicate assays, 3.02 and 3.06

Determination of Amygdalin in Apricot Kernel and Processed Apricot Products by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Food Hygiene and Safety Science (Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi), 1983
A method was developed for the determination of amygdalin in apricot kernels by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Amygdalin was extracted from apricot kernels with methanol, and 10μl of the filtrate was injected into a high performance liquid chromatograph.
