T nin(Persicae Semen) is the herb medicine that contains amygdalin as a major ingredient.
Amygdalin in water is decomposed into benzaldehyde, HCN, and glucose by emulsin, a
hydrolysis enzyme in t nin. A useful and practical method for the optimum extraction condition
of amygdalin without enzymatic hydrolysis is required. The extraction yield of amygdalin of natural
formula t nin was 0.1% from crude powders, 1.4% from small pieces, 3.5% from half
pieces and 2.4% from whole pieces. The extraction yield of amygdalin of outer shell-eliminated
t nin was 0.3% from crude powders, 1.4% from small pieces, and 3.5% from half
pieces and whole pieces respectively. The extraction yield of amygdalin was most high when
using the size larger than half.
