Prunus armeniaca (species) (Prunus (genus), Rosaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Species of small, deciduous, fruit-bearing tree that originated in China but is now cultivated throughout the temperate regions of the world. The scientific name includes a reference to Armenia, where it has been cultivated since ancient times. The common name is derived from an Arabic word, dating to the Moorish occupation of Spain. The tree has also been cultivated in Persia and Egypt since ancient times. Seeds or kernels of the apricot may be substituted for almonds; the oil pressed from these kernels is called "oil of almond"; the Italian liqueur amaretto and amaretti biscotti are flavored with extract of apricot kernels rather than almonds. In Europe, apricots were long considered an aphrodisiac, as mentioned by Shakespeare. A clear, water soluble gum exudes from open cuts in the bark; the gum contains arabinose, galactose, mannose, and glucuronic acid. In modern agriculture, apricot cultivars are usually grafted on plum or peach rootstocks.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 會結果實的小型落葉喬木物種,原生於中國,但如今種植範圍遍及全球的溫帶地區。其學名中包含亞美尼亞(Armenia)一詞,亞美尼亞地區自古時便已開始種植杏,而其俗名則起源於阿拉伯語,可追溯至摩爾人統治西班牙的時期。此樹木自古時,便在波斯及埃及種植。杏的種子或果仁可代替巴旦杏;由這些果仁所榨出的油,稱為「杏仁油」;義大利的安摩拉多利口酒(amaretto)以及杏仁餅(amaretti biscotti)均是以杏的果仁提取物所調味,而非巴旦杏。杏長久以來在歐洲被視為一種催情劑,在莎士比亞作品中有所提及。杏樹皮開口所滲出之水溶性清澈樹膠含有樹膠醛糖、半乳糖、甘露糖、以及葡萄糖醛酸。在現代農業中,杏的培育品種通常會嫁接在李或桃的根莖上。
