Prunasin was the predominant cyanogenic glycoside in the mesocarp and endocarp of 5 peach and 1 ornamental peach cultivar. The content was high in the young fruits then decreased gradually as the fruits grew, except in the mesocarp of the ornamental cultivar in which the content decreased to late June then increased again to a peak in late July before declining, probably due to there being little or no fruit enlargement during later growth stages. Prunasin content in seeds declined gradually as fruits developed. Amygdalin appeared in seeds during the middle stages of growth and then increased resulting in higher contents in intermediate and late maturing cultivars than in early cultivars.
