cyanogenic: [Said of] compounds able to produce cyanide; examples are the cyanogenic glycosides such as amygdalin in peach and apricot stones. 5, record 1, English, - cyanogenetic%20glycoside
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Cyanogenic glycosides are present in a number of food plants and seeds. Hydrogen cyanide is released from the cyanogenic glycosides when fresh plant material is macerated as in chewing, which allows enzymes and cyanogenic glycosides to come together, releasing hydrogen cyanide. 6, record 1, English, - cyanogenetic%20glycoside

glycoside: Any of a class of compounds, many of which are present in plants, which on hydrolysis give a sugar and one or more other compounds, one of which is usu. an alcohol or a phenol. 7, record 1, English, - cyanogenetic%20glycoside
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
glucoside: One of a class of vegetable substances which being treated with dilute acids or alkalis, or subjected to the action of ferments, are resolved into a sugar and some other substance. Now usually restricted to mean a glycoside which on hydrolysis gives glucose. 7, record 1, English, - cyanogenetic%20glycoside
