Amygdalin is a naturally occurring product and was considered to be a natural cancer cure; however, its anticancer effects remain highly controversial. Furthermore, the bioactivity of amygdalin in metal- and nonmetal-complexes has not been explored. The objectives of this work is to synthesize four ...

The process of amygdalin extraction from plum seeds was optimized using central composite design (CCD) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The effect of time, ethanol concentration, solid-to-liquid ratio, and temperature on the amygdalin content in the extracts was estimated using both mathematical mod...

Amygdalin is widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Oral delivery of amygdalin releases hydrogen cyanide upon endogenous enzymes causing potential toxic effects to humans. Here, we fabricate Fmoc-Tyr–OH–amygdalin hydrogel (FTOA) which represents L-tyrosine derived low molecular weight hydrogelator...

FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy are complementary techniques for the study of molecular vibrations and structure. The combination with a microscope results in an analytical method that allows spatially resolved investigation of the chemical composition of heterogeneous foods and food ingredients. The h...

The ability of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy to measure cyanogenic glycoside amygdalin was investigated using a standard addition series in which amygdalin (0-700 nmol/mg) was added to ground sweet almond. As an additional test, the method so developed, and further refined, was used to determ...
