Chromatographic examination has shown that the enzymic hydrolysis of amygdalin by an almond
beta-glucosidase
preparation proceeds consecutively: amygdalin was hydrolysed to prunasin and glucose; prunasin to mandelonitrile and glucose; mandelonitrile to benzaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid. Gentiobiose was not formed during the enzymic hydrolysis. The kinetics of the production of mandelonitrile and hydrocyanic acid from amygdalin by the action of the
beta-glucosidase
preparation favour the probability that three different enzymes are involved, each specific for one hydrolytic stage, namely, amygdalin lyase, prunasin lyase and hydroxynitrile lyase.
Cellulose acetate
electrophoresis of the enzyme preparation showed that it contained a number of enzymically active components.
