Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside primarily extracted from bitter almonds and apricot kernels. The standard industrial process involves solvent extraction followed by crystallization to ensure high purity. Its molecular formula is C20H27NO11 with CAS number 144-98-7.
Strict adherence to safety protocols is required due to hydrolysis risks releasing hydrogen cyanide. Storage must be maintained in cool, dry conditions away from moisture. Clinical use is heavily restricted or banned in many jurisdictions due to toxicity concerns.
