Ximenia americana

To date, noncloned HNLs from Ximenia americana (A7/HNL) [23] and Phlebodium aureum (P/mHNL) [24] cannot be defined as phylogenetical groups of existing HNLs.

Another (S)-oxynitrilase was isolated from Ximenia americana leaves and seems to accept aromatic aldehydes since it catalyses mandelonitrile fission [31]. However, the investigation of this oxynitrilase probably suffers from its inadequate natural occurrence.

The amount of HNL varies largely from one species to another, from less than 1 mg (Ximenia americana) to 900 mg (sweet almond) per 100 g of dried or defatted material.
