Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The cyanohydrin and carbonyl compound formed by the metabolism of amygdalin are to be stated.

Concept introduction: Amygdalin is a derivative of cyanohydrin. The metabolism of amygdalin involves two steps. The first step is the metabolism of amygdalin to form cyanohydrin. The second step is the further metabolism of cyanohydrin into carbonyl compound (aldehyde). Both steps of this metabolism utilize specific enzymes.
