The application of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to the analysis of cassava cyanogens has been investigated. Qualitative analysis has identified the major carbohydrates including linamarin present in cassava root and leaf extracts. Initial studies involving chromatographic resolution, reproducibility and accuracy indicate the possibility of the application of this technique for routine analysis of the cyanogenic potential of cassava tissues.
