1. Some tropical crops contain cyanogenic glycosides, toxic substances that release hydrocyanic acid (HCN; also referred to as cyanide) when cells are crushed. Consuming these plants without cooking them can cause cyanide poisoning, with varying effects depending on cyanide levels and how long a...
  2. 17/07/2017 Les feuilles de cultures tropicales comme le chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) et le manioc (Manihot esculenta) contiennent des glycosides cyanogénétiques, des substances toxiques qui libèrent de l'acide cyanhydrique (HCN, également appelé cyanure ou acide prussique) lorsque les cellules sont...
  3. Abstract - American Journal of Analytical Chemistry, 2014 Cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) is a starchy staple food that previous researches have showed to contain cyanogenic compounds, precursors of hydrocyanic acid, undoubtedly toxic for humans. With the aim to determine food security in...
  4. Abstract - Food Chemistry, 2013 In this study, we extend pioneering studies and demonstrate straightforward applicability of the corrinbased chemosensor, aquacyanocobyrinic acid (ACCA), for the instantaneous detection and rapid quanti- fication of endogenous cyanide in fresh and processed cassava...
