  1. Poster - Cyantesmo Paper for Detecting Cyanide

    Some tropical crops contain cyanogenic glycosides, toxic substances that release hydrocyanic acid (HCN; also referred to as cyanide) when cells are crushed. Consuming these plants without cooking them can cause cyanide poisoning, with varying effects depending on cyanide levels and how long a...

  4. Straightforward rapid spectrophotometric quantification of total cyanogenic glycosides in fresh and processed cassava products

    Abstract - Food Chemistry, 2013 In this study, we extend pioneering studies and demonstrate straightforward applicability of the corrinbased chemosensor, aquacyanocobyrinic acid (ACCA), for the instantaneous detection and rapid quanti- fication of endogenous cyanide in fresh and processed cassava...
