  • Title: Two-step hydrolysis of amygdalin in molds.
    Author: Brimer L, Cicalini AR, Federici F, Nout RM, Petruccioli M, Pulci V.
    Journal: Riv Biol; 1996; 89(3):493-6. PubMed ID: 9122587.
    Abstract:
    Mucor circinelloides LU M40 and Penicillium aurantiogriseum P 35, characterized by extracellular beta-glucosidase activity on cyanogenic glycosides, hydrolyse amygdalin by a two-step reaction mechanism being the first step of hydrolysis, from amygdalin to prunasin, very rapid (15 min) and the second one, from prunasin to mandelonitrile, much slower (120 min).
