Amygdalin

The amygdalin (of the Greek amugdalê: almond) or Mandelonitrile-b-gentiobioside is a vegetable Hétéroside (its glucidic part is the Gentiobiose and its part aglycone the Cyanhydrine of the Benzaldéhyde). Amygdalin is Cyanogène: the Hydrolyze of this cyanogenetic heteroside gives in addition to the ose, the Hydrocyanic acid and the benzoic Aldéhyde (which gives the bitter almond odor). Amygdalin is present in bitter almonds and the cores of some drupes: Cherry S, Apricot S, plum S. Empirical formula: C20H27NO11
