*6.2. Vitamins*

Most studies about vitamin content in almond have been focused on vitamins with an antioxidant e ffect, particularly vitamin E. However, almond kernels are a good source of vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine) and niacin (Table 3). Some kernel processing operations, like roasting or blanching (to a lesser extent), may result in vitamin loss due to the temperature e ffect on vitamin degradation [89].
