Guided by the results of N M R experiments on the reactivity of linamarin in alkali and acid, an acid hydrolysis method was developed for cyanide analysis in cassava. Hydrolysis in 2.0 M H,SO, at 100°C for 50 min of a cassava extract produced cyanohydrins which rapidly decomposed to cyanide ion in a
The cyanogen elimination proÐle during cooking of cassava roots was investigated and correlated with the changes in cyanogenic b-glucosidase (GLase) activity monitored at close intervals in the cook water and root. Cyanogenic b-glucosidase (GLase) activity was detected in the cook water within 5 min
