Article Synopsis
- - Apples and plums both belong to the Rosaceae family and contain phytochemicals, but their seeds are particularly high in cyanogenic glycosides that can produce toxic hydrogen cyanide when damaged.
- - The review examines how the distribution of these cyanogenic compounds varies in different parts of the fruits, how it changes during development, and the environmental factors that affect their production, highlighting significant gaps in current research.
- - Processing techniques, such as seed separation and microwave heating, can help reduce cyanide levels in these fruits, and there's a notable concern regarding the storage of waste-derived products, like plum stones, as HCN levels may increase over time.
