Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Terpenoids such as d-limonene and linalool were significantly upregulated during steaming of bitter almond.
- Intervention effect Benzyl alcohol was significantly downregulated during steaming.
- Observation Nonvolatile component analysis identified 199 metabolites.
- Observation Eighty metabolites were screened as significantly different between treatments.
- Intervention effect Steaming gave far more downregulated substances (45) than boiling (19).
- Intervention effect Steaming gave far more downregulated substances (45) than frying (23).
- Intervention effect Processing significantly degraded the cyanide alkaloid prunasin, forming volatile products such as benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide.
- Mechanism The prunasin degradation is presented as confirming the detoxification mechanism of processing at the molecular level.
- Observation Differential metabolites were mainly involved in 56 KEGG pathways such as alpha-linolenic acid metabolism and purine metabolism.
