Abstract
Cyanide content of the leaves and roots of 6 Venezuelan cultivars of Manihot esculenta Crantz (yuca, cassava) did not necessarily coincide with their organoleptic classifications. Leaves and root periderm contained the largest amount of cyanogenic compounds. The content of cyanide in leaves and root periderm was not associated with the cyanide content of root parenchymal tissue.Keywords
