Product Information

• Name: Taxiphyllin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Taxiphyllin is a type of cyanogenic glucoside, which is a naturally occurring compound found in certain plants. It is derived primarily from bamboo shoots, among other plant sources. The compound undergoes hydrolysis when the plant tissue is damaged, such as during chewing or processing. This hydrolytic reaction, typically catalyzed by the enzyme β-glucosidase, results in the release of hydrogen cyanide, a potent defense mechanism for the plant against herbivores and pests.
