Amygdalin is a compound that has been the subject of research due to its potential to release hydrogen cyanide upon enzymatic hydrolysis. It is used in studies involving plant metabolism, as it is a component of certain fruit kernels and seeds, such as those from almonds, apricots, and peaches. Researchers are interested in the enzymatic pathways that plants use to synthesize and degrade amygdalin, which can offer insights into plant defense mechanisms and the evolution of chemical deterrents in seeds. In the field of analytical chemistry, amygdalin is used as a reference compound for developing detection and quantification methods in complex matrices, such as food products. Additionally, amygdalin′s role in plant biology is studied to understand its impact on herbivores and how it may influence ecological interactions between plants and other organisms.
