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: This term is considered by some authors a synonym for "heteroside", defined as a "glycoside which, on hydrolysis, yields a noncarbohydrate as well as a glycose." By comparison, a "glycoside" is an acetal derivative of sugar which on hydrolysis (as by the action of enzymes or dilute acids) yields one or more molecules of a sugar and OFTEN a noncarbohydrate. 4, record 2, English, - glycoside
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Specifically glycosides are acetals which are derived from a combination of various hydroxy compounds with various sugars. They are designated individually as glucosides, mannosides, galactosides, etc. Glycosides were formerly called "glucosides", but the latter term now refers to any glycoside having glucose as its sugar constituent. 3, record 2, English, - glycoside
