What is Amygdalin?
Amygdalin,A β-cyanogenic glycoside in bitter almonds, with cyanide (CN) bound to the molecule. After eating bitter almonds, it will release free cyanide, so the eater will be poisoned; amygdalin is a product of phenylalanine metabolism in bitter almonds. Bitter almonds contain β-glucosidase and oxynitrilase. The former catalyzes the hydrolysis of amygdalin into two molecules of glucose and one molecule of amygdalin, and the latter catalyzes the hydrolysis of amygdalin into cyanide (HCN) and benzaldehyde. Amygdalin is found in seeds, such as almonds.
Sources
Amygdalin (from the Greek word for "almond"), also known as amygdalin, is a toxic cyanogenic glycoside found in many plants, but most notably in the seeds of apricots, bitter almonds, apples, peaches, and plums. Amygdalin is also found in other Prunus plants, including apricots and black cherries, and in the leaves, fruits, and pits of loquats.
Effects and functions
Almonds contain 3% amygdalin, which is decomposed by enzymes to form hydrocyanic acid. Hydrocyanic acid is toxic, but a small amount has a sedative effect on the respiratory center. Therefore, it is recorded in literature that it has antitussive and antiasthmatic effects, and has the effect of killing typhoid bacilli and other fungi. In recent years, domestic and foreign scientific research has proved that hydrocyanic acid also has anti-cancer effects, which is really a good product for the benefit of human health.
