Definition
Linustatin is a member of the class of compounds known as cyanogenic glycosides. Cyanogenic glycosides are glycosides in which the aglycone moiety contains a cyanide group. Linustatin is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Linustatin can be found in a number of food items such as broad bean, plains prickly pear, shea tree, and longan, which makes linustatin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
