Virgin Argan oil (VAO) is traditionally prepared by cold-pressing the kernel of the fruit of Argania spinosa (Skeels) L. The Argan tree is endemic to Southwestern Morocco where the Argan forest covers an area of 800,000 ha ( Charrouf et al., 2002). In Morocco this tree is considered an important forest species from economy and social stand points, but also for environmental reasons, owing to its ability to stand against desert progression. In addition A. spinosa is increasingly considered as an optional crop for orchards to be developed in semi-arid regions, although there is still lot of research work ahead for domestication ( Bellefontaine, 2010), and for fully valorizing the range of compounds potentially available ( Pioch et al., 2013). Some years ago, attempts of cultivation for commercial purpose were made in the Negev desert in Israel ( Nerd et al., 1994).
