Word origin

From amygdal- + -ine.

Used in a sentence

  • It is known that emulsine and amygdaline are two innocent substances when they are administered by themselves, but that they develope hydrocyanic acid and become a violent poison when placed in contact.
  • This insoluble residue, even when completely washed with distilled water so as to remove all soluble matter, still furnishes the characteristic reaction of emulsine with amygdaline.
  • From this it seems clear that if Ag. fabaceus has an amygdaline odour and taste it must be in a very modified degree, as the taste and odour of the plant, as it grows here, could escape no one.
