木薯生氰糖苷研究进展

木薯是世界上第五大粮食作物。但由于含有生氰糖苷，食用处理不完全的木薯产品会对人体产生危害．这在某种程度上限制了其在食品中的广泛应用。因此，对木薯生氰糖苷的研究具有重要的现实意义。本文对木薯生氰糖苷的生物合成以及人们在降低生氰糖苷含量方面的研究工作进行阐述．并对未来获得没有或低含量生氰糖苷的木薯产品提出展望。

Research Advances on Cyanogenic Glycoside in Cassava

Manihot esculenta Crantz （cassava） is the filch largest food crop in the world. Various health disorders are associated with the consumption of poorly processed cassava due to the presence of residual cyanogens, on some level, which is the bottleneck constraining its applications in the food. As a conse- quence, it is very significant to address this problem by understand the cyanogen metabohsm in cassava. This review focuses on advance in pathway of cyanogenic glycosides synthesis and breakdown which play an important in developing cyanogen-free cassava cultivars.
