Prunus amygdalus Batsch is the most popular medicinal plant that has been widely used in traditional medicine in Iran. Almond seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides that are toxic after consumption. This study aimed to determine the components of cyanogenic glycoside in the seeds of four native almond species in the Zagros Mountains. Amygdalin, prunasin and linamarin were detected as the most predominant cyanogen in wild almond seeds, respectively. The amygdalin content ranged from 176 to 3076 mg/100 g DW in different regions. Different amounts of 83–386 mg/100 g of prunasin were recorded in almond seeds. Linamarin was detected in the seeds of wild almond species not previously reported in Prunus species. Linamarin content varied from 25.1 to 90.1 mg/100 g in Prunus orientalis (Mill.) Koehne in the Paveh and Sonqor, respectively. Similarly, amygdalin, prunasin and limanarin contents were affected by species and environment. The results indicated the importance of taking wild almond seed consumption with caution by indigenous people.

扎格罗斯山野生杏仁特有种中含氰苷的测定

Prunus amygdalus Batsch 是最受欢迎的药用植物，在伊朗被广泛用于传统医学。杏仁种子含有氰苷，食用后有毒。本研究旨在确定扎格罗斯山脉四种本地杏仁种子中氰苷的成分。苦杏仁苷、prunasin 和亚麻苦苷分别被检测为野生杏仁种子中最主要的氰。不同地区苦杏仁苷含量范围为 176 至 3076 mg/100 g DW。在杏仁种子中记录了不同量的 83–386 mg/100 g prunasin。在以前未在李属物种中报道过的野生杏仁物种的种子中检测到亚麻苦苷。在 Paveh 和 Sonqor 的 Prunus orientalis (Mill.) Koehne 中，亚麻苦苷的含量分别从 25.1 到 90.1 毫克/100 克不等。同样，苦杏仁苷，prunasin 和 limanarin 的含量受物种和环境的影响。结果表明土著人谨慎食用野生杏仁种子的重要性。
