Abstract A simple colorimetric method is described for determining the quantity of hydrogen cyanide produced by the spontaneous decomposition of amygdalin in apricot kernels. The evolved cyanide is collected in sodium hydroxide solution and assayed colorimetrically by reaction with picric acid. Results for duplicate assays, 3.02 and 3.06 mg CN-/g, compare well with those obtained by AOAC method 26.115 which specifies steam distillation and silver nitrate titration; results for triplicate assays were 3.02, 3.03, and 3.08 mg CN-/g by the latter. Recovery of cyanide from potassium cyanide at a level equivalent to 243 μg CN-/g was 101.0%.
