General description

Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside found expressed in the leaves of Sorghum plants. Studies have shown that as the plant ages, dhurrin expression depends are nitrogen availability. Dhurrin production shifts from the leaves to the stems during development.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Cyanogenic glycosides are common plant toxins. Toxic hydrogen cyanide originating from cyanogenic glycosides may affect soil processes and water quality. In this study, hydrolysis, degradation and sorption of dhurrin (4-hydroxymandelonitrile-beta-d-glucoside) produced by sorghum has been studied in order to assess
