Aceite de almendra

Acerca de los aceites botánicos

El uso de aceites botánicos se remonta a miles de años, con raíces en culturas tan diversas como los antiguos sumerios, chinos y el Imperio Romano.[1] Los aceites botánicos se preparan a partir de la planta completa, preservando su aroma, los principales ingredientes activos y la esencia de la planta. Los aceites botánicos hechos de diversas plantas se han usado a lo largo de la historia para honrar a los dioses,[2] preparar cuerpos para funerales,[3] preservar la belleza, ayudar con la higiene y tratar una amplia variedad de condiciones médicas. Las instrucciones para la preparación y uso de plantas como medicina están catalogadas en las obras de Dioscórides, De materia medica[4], ya en el primer siglo. La tecnología moderna ha permitido identificar y estudiar las partes activas de las plantas por su papel en la salud y su utilidad contra diversas condiciones médicas.  

Las propiedades de las almendras

El antiguo almendro ha tenido una posición honorable en muchas culturas. Los almendros se mencionan varias veces en la Biblia. Floreciendo a principios de la primavera, su nombre hebreo significa “industrioso” o “vigilante” y se consideraba una señal del castigo repentino y rápido de Dios en el antiguo Israel. Los chinos ven la almendra como un símbolo de tristeza duradera y belleza femenina[5].  

Tipos de almendras

El abundante aceite de la almendra tiene un aroma agradablemente suave, color claro y no posee un sabor fuerte[6]. Hay dos variedades principales de almendras, dulce (Prunus dulcis) y amarga (Prunus amara o amygdalus). La variedad de almendra dulce se usa más ampliamente porque produce más de los valiosos aceites por los que las almendras son conocidas y presenta menos riesgo de toxicidad. La variedad de almendra amarga contiene amigdalina, al igual que las semillas de otros miembros de la familia Prunus, incluyendo cerezas, albaricoques y ciruelas. Cuando la amigdalina se digiere, la interacción con el agua y los gérmenes del intestino produce altas cantidades de ácido prúsico,[7] o cianuro. La almendra amarga también contiene benzaldehído, su aceite esencial, que es tóxico[8]. Debido a que estos componentes son tóxicos, o incluso letales en dosis muy pequeñas, la almendra amarga no debe ser consumida y no se vende en los Estados Unidos.  

 

Nutrientes

almond-oil2
La almendra es una potencia nutricional. Las almendras están compuestas aproximadamente por un 21 por ciento de proteína, un 50 por ciento de grasa, un 22 por ciento de carbohidratos, más de la mitad de los cuales es fibra, y un cinco por ciento de agua, lo que hace que la harina de almendra sea una opción popular para diabéticos.[9] Los ácidos grasos de la almendra son principalmente grasas insaturadas, con algunas grasas saturadas y sin colesterol. Específicamente, el aceite de almendra contiene entre 4 y 9 por ciento de ácido palmítico, 0.9 a 3 por ciento de ácido esteárico, 50 a 86 por ciento de ácido oleico y 20 a 30 por ciento de ácido linoleico.[10][11] ácido.[12] De estos, el ácido palmítico y el esteárico son ácidos grasos saturados, pero representan menos del 12 por ciento del total de ácidos grasos. El ácido linoleico, abundante en la almendra, es un ácido graso omega-6. Aunque los ácidos grasos omega-3 son más conocidos por sus beneficios para la salud, la dieta y la salud de la piel y el cabello requieren un equilibrio entre ácidos grasos omega-6 y omega-3. La dieta americana tiende a contener una gran cantidad de omega-6, que pueden convertirse en ácido araquidónico inflamatorio, especialmente cuando su fuente es la carne. Las fuentes vegetales de ácidos grasos omega-6 se convierten en ácido gamma-linolénico, que es antiinflamatorio, antes de convertirse en ácido araquidónico. La dieta mediterránea, reconocida como un medio efectivo para combatir enfermedades cardíacas, es rica en fuentes vegetales de omega-6, incluyendo las almendras.[13]
Además de los ácidos grasos, las almendras contienen nutrientes liposolubles como la vitamina E, principalmente en forma del potente antioxidante alfa-tocoferol, y la vitamina A. Las vitaminas B presentes en las almendras incluyen B1 (tiamina), B2 (riboflavina), B3 (niacina), B6 y folato. Las almendras son una fuente rica en potasio. También contienen varios otros minerales, incluyendo calcio, hierro, magnesio, fósforo, zinc y una pequeña cantidad de sodio.[14]
Las propiedades de una planta pueden diferir incluso de otra planta de la misma especie y genotipo,[15] dependiendo de cuándo se considere que la planta está madura,[16] y variaciones en los lugares o condiciones de cultivo.[17]
Aunque todos estos nutrientes estarán presentes en cualquier aceite de almendra, la cantidad de cada nutriente en una cierta cantidad de aceite puede variar. Las plantas se adaptan a su entorno, por lo que una planta cultivada con más o menos sol o lluvia[18] puede ajustarse a esas condiciones, produciendo perfiles de nutrientes ligeramente diferentes.  

Preparación del aceite de almendra

¡La almendra no es técnicamente una nuez ni una fruta! Es un drupa, que se refiere a sus múltiples capas. La cáscara exterior del fruto del almendro es un recubrimiento grueso y verde. Dentro de la cáscara está el endocarpio, que es duro y leñoso, similar al exterior del hueso que se encuentra en su pariente, el durazno. Dentro del endocarpio se encuentra la semilla, o almendra.[19] El aceite de almendra se extrae de esta semilla madura.  

Prensado mecánico y prensado en frío

El prensado mecánico se refiere al proceso de descomponer lentamente las almendras bajo presión mecánica, como dos placas metálicas giratorias, para liberar las grasas de la almendra.[20] Prensado en frío significa que el aceite fue extraído mediante prensado mecánico a baja temperatura.[21] La baja temperatura previene que el aceite se estropee. El aceite de almendra producido por un proceso de prensado en frío es de color más oscuro que el de un proceso refinado, pero se cree que tiene mayores propiedades que hacen valiosa a la planta original, incluyendo sus grasas monoinsaturadas y actividad antimicrobiana.[22] La extracción por destilación para los aceites esenciales de almendras dulces generalmente no es necesaria porque los aceites son tan abundantes en las semillas. Incluso un proceso casero es suficiente para liberar el aceite.[23]

Extracción por destilación

La extracción por destilación significa exponer una planta al agua o al vapor para descomponer el material vegetal y liberar el aceite esencial. Los aceites se enfrían y condensan para su recolección.[24] La extracción por destilación se usa para extraer amigdalina de las almendras amargas. La amigdalina no está presente en el aceite crudo, por lo que la extracción por prensa no funcionaría. La amigdalina se produce por la acción de la emulsina, un componente de la almendra amarga que se activa cuando hay agua presente. Si la temperatura es demasiado alta cuando ocurre esta reacción, la emulsina se descompone y la amigdalina no puede liberarse.

Cuando se produce amigdalina, la almendra amarga también libera el aceite esencial benzaldehído y una pequeña cantidad de ácido hidrociánico, también llamado ácido prúsico. Este ácido prúsico, o cianuro, es extremadamente tóxico pero puede eliminarse con una destilación adicional, dejando el aceite de almendra amarga libre de ácido prúsico, también referido como aceite de almendra amarga, FFPA. Este es el saborizante popular en la cocina.

Incluso cuando está libre de cianuro, el benzaldehído y la amigdalina también son tóxicos, por lo que el aceite amargo se usa en dosis gotas.[25][26] El extracto de aceite de almendra amarga tiene un fuerte sabor a almendra y se usa en la cocina. Las almendras amargas crudas no se venden en los EE. UU. Las fuentes comerciales de extracto de almendra pueden estar hechas de frutas productoras de amigdalina de la misma familia que la almendra, incluyendo duraznos o albaricoques. Sin embargo, estas frutas producen menos amigdalina, por lo que el sabor es menos fuerte que cuando la amigdalina se extrae de almendras amargas.[27]  

 

Usos medicinales del aceite de almendra

aceite-de-almendra3
Usos en la medicina ayurvédica y china
El aceite de almendra se toma internamente y se aplica tópicamente. En la medicina china antigua y la medicina ayurvédica (el sistema tradicional de medicina de la India), el aceite de almendra se usa en condiciones de piel seca, incluyendo eczema y psoriasis.
La almendra en la medicina ayurvédica se considera la mejor de todas las nueces; capaz de mejorar la esencia del cuerpo que sostiene el intelecto, la espiritualidad y la capacidad reproductiva. Tanto la medicina china como la ayurvédica consideran que las almendras son efectivas para despejar afecciones de los pulmones, como la congestión bronquial. El aceite puede tomarse internamente o usarse en masajes para estimular la limpieza de los pulmones.[28]  
Cosméticos
El aceite de almendra es un aceite base popular en productos cosméticos debido a sus propiedades agradables y suaves. Se absorbe bien en la piel y la suaviza, siendo una opción principal para la fabricación de jabones, bálsamos labiales y aceites de baño.[29]  
Masaje
El aceite de almendra es un aceite portador para medicamentos y se usa ampliamente como portador de otros aceites esenciales.[30] porque su aroma suave no domina otros olores. Es un favorito entre los terapeutas de masaje. El aceite de almendra es ligeramente oleoso, ayudando a que la mano del terapeuta se deslice sobre la piel, pero se absorbe bien.[31] Las grasas y nutrientes beneficiosos presentes en el aceite de almendra pueden ser absorbidos a través de la piel. El uso de aceite de almendra para masajear a bebés prematuros mejoró sus puntuaciones neurológicas y aumentó su ganancia de peso.[32] en comparación con placebo.  
Cicatrices y estrías
El aceite de almendra se absorbe bien y es rico en vitaminas liposolubles E y A. Estos nutrientes probablemente contribuyen al beneficio observado del aceite de almendra para reducir cicatrices después de cirugías y para suavizar y rejuvenecer la piel.[33] Hay alguna evidencia sobre la eficacia del masaje con aceite de almendra para reducir las estrías durante el embarazo.[34]  
Salud cardiovascular
Tomado internamente, el aceite de almendra es una fuente rica en ácidos grasos omega-6 y varios otros nutrientes. Se han realizado muchos estudios sobre la almendra entera, encontrando beneficios para las enfermedades cardiovasculares, incluyendo el aumento del HDL,[35] el “colesterol bueno,” reducción de la grasa abdominal y disminución del LDL, el “colesterol malo,” al reemplazar snacks altos en carbohidratos,[36] reducción de los niveles de glucosa,[37] prevención del daño hepático y mejora del funcionamiento de los vasos sanguíneos.[38]  
Salud gastrointestinal
Un número creciente de investigaciones respalda la importancia del microbioma intestinal para la salud. Un estudio comparó el efecto de almendras recién molidas con almendras desgrasadas sobre los gérmenes intestinales. El estudio encontró que las almendras recién molidas con las grasas intactas apoyaban un mejor perfil de gérmenes que las nueces desgrasadas.[39] El aceite de almendra favorece un tiempo de tránsito intestinal saludable, siendo útil para el tratamiento del síndrome del intestino irritable (SII).  
Usos Tradicionales El aceite de almendra se considera beneficioso para una amplia variedad de condiciones basándose en su uso tradicional, aunque no hay investigaciones consistentes a favor o en contra de la eficacia de estos usos. El aceite de almendra se considera antiinflamatorio, estimulante del sistema inmunológico, antihepatotóxico y también puede reducir la incidencia de cáncer de colon.[40]  
Uso del aceite de almendra amarga El aceite de almendra amarga es tóxico si se ingiere, pero históricamente se ha usado para tratar fiebres, posiblemente porque puede eliminar gérmenes, virus y hongos. Se ha utilizado como vermífugo para eliminar gusanos en el tracto gastrointestinal.[41] El aceite de almendra amarga induce sudoración y aumento de la producción de orina. Aunque no hay estudios en humanos, se reconoce su uso para espasmos, dolor, tos y picazón.[42]  

Preguntas sobre el aceite de almendra

¿Qué debo buscar en un aceite de almendra? El aceite de almendra sin refinar y prensado en frío contendrá el mejor perfil de nutrientes y grasas. Puede ser más oscuro y tener un aroma más fuerte que un aceite refinado, pero el aroma y sabor general deberían ser bastante suaves.  

Si soy alérgico a las almendras, ¿puedo usar aceite de almendra? Si tienes alergia a los frutos secos, o si no estás seguro si tienes alergia, se debe evitar el aceite de almendra, incluso como agente tópico.  

¿Es seguro usar aceite de almendra en niños? Si tu hijo tiene alergia a los frutos secos, o si no estás seguro si tiene alergia, se debe evitar el aceite de almendra, incluso como agente tópico. Ha habido casos de niños que desarrollaron alergias a las almendras solo por exposición tópica.[43] Consulta a un médico sobre pruebas para alergias a las almendras.  

¿Puedo cocinar con aceite de almendra? Podrías cocinar con aceite de almendra; el aceite o un extracto de almendra pueden ser ingredientes en recetas de repostería. El aceite de almendra no es estable a altas temperaturas, por lo que no es la mejor opción para usar con calor alto.  

¿Cuál es la vida útil del aceite de almendra? Guardado bajo condiciones adecuadas, la vida útil del aceite de almendra es de aproximadamente 2 años. El alto contenido de vitamina E del aceite de almendra en realidad ayuda a protegerlo del estrés oxidativo que se forma cuando el aceite comienza a enranciarse, extendiendo su vida útil. El aceite de almendra tiene bajo contenido de humedad, con solo alrededor del 5 por ciento de agua, por lo que mientras la humedad esté sellada, no se descompone fácilmente. El aceite de almendra debe mantenerse en condiciones frescas, ya que se descompone a temperaturas altas.[44]  

¿El aceite de almendra no obstruirá mis poros? La almendra es un buen emoliente, lo que significa que es eficaz para descomponer y suavizar la piel. Aun así, los poros del rostro pueden ser más sensibles a la obstrucción por aceites espesos. Si tiendes a tener piel grasa, el aceite de almendra puede ser mejor usarlo en otras partes del cuerpo.  

¿Engordaré por las calorías del aceite de almendra? La mayoría de los estudios muestran que la pérdida de peso es el resultado de incluir más almendras en la dieta. Como alimento denso en nutrientes, puede ayudarte a sentirte lleno más rápido, reemplazando alimentos con más carbohidratos que en general tienen menos nutrientes.  

Precaución y consideraciones El aceite de almendra se elabora a partir de almendras. No lo use tópicamente ni lo ingiera si es alérgico a las almendras o a todos los frutos secos. Las almendras pertenecen a un grupo de alimentos que pueden causar un síndrome de alergia oral.[45] Los otros alimentos en este grupo de alimentos con polen de abedul son manzanas, almendras, zanahorias, apio, cerezas, avellanas, kiwi, duraznos, peras y ciruelas. Si tiene una reacción a cualquiera de estos alimentos, consulte a su médico antes de hacer del aceite de almendra una parte regular de su dieta o régimen cosmético.
