Removal of Cyanogenic Glycosides in Whole Flaxseed via Lactobacillaceae Fermentation
… of these foods. However, flaxseed contains cyanogenic glycosides (CGs), including linamarin, linustatin, lotaustralin and neolinustatin. Cyanogenic glycosides are metabolized to cyanohydrins by the action of the enzymes beta-glucosidase and hydroxynitrile lyase which first cleave glucose …

Cyclopentenoid Cyanogens: Their Chemistry, Importance in Plant Systematics, and Their Role in the Coevolution of Plants and Insects (Phytochemistry, Cyanogenic, Glycosides, Nmr)
Cyanogenic glycosides containing a cyclopentene ring were investigated chemically. Techniques for their isolation from plant sources were devised, and data accumulated on their spectroscopic properties. The distribution of cyclopentenoid cyanogens in plants was investigated, and it was determined …

Engineering cyanide-tolerant Arabidopsis thaliana
… naturally produce cyanide from the hydrolysis of cyanogenic glycosides and as a by-product of ethylene biosynthesis. β-Cyanoalanine synthase prevents self-poisoning by combining endogenous cyanide with cysteine in the mitochondria to form β-cyanoalanine, which is further hydrolysed to asparagine, …

Studies on biological activities of Scottish plants.
… 13 flavonoids, 6 lignans, 5 secoiridoids, 3 cyanogenic glycosides, 2 diaryl heptanoids, 1 phytoecdysteroid, a cinnamic acid derivative and an acetophenone derivative isolated in this study. These included the novel compounds hederacine A, hederacine B, two tropane alkaloids isolated from …

In defence of flowers: The ecology and biochemistry of a chemical defence, cyanogenesis, in Proteaceae
… of toxic hydrogen cyanide from endogenous cyanogenic glycosides (CNglycs) upon tissue damage. There were two main aspects to this research, (1) investigations into patterns in the distribution of CNglycs within flowers of different species, and (2) investigations into patterns in …
