When young rats were fed a diet containing common vetch seed for 1 month, they excreted in the urine ∼7 times more thiocyanate than they had ingested. Vicianin, prunasin, and β-cyanoalanine were identified as principal dietary sources of the excreted thiocyanate. Vicianin was isolated by chromatography and crystallization. Its structure was confirmed by mass spectrometry and by identification of its monosaccharides and aglycon. Prunasin was identified chromatographically by HPLC. The combined seed content of vicianin (0.68 μmol/g) and prunasin (0.16 μmol/g) corresponded to the cyanogen content of the seed (0.91 ± 0.14 μmol/g;n= 7), determined as cyanide after autolysis. When vicianin was fed, the urinary thiocyanate output was 21% of the ingested amount of vicianin, whereas β-cyanoalanine yielded a urinary thiocyanate output of <0.2%. Calculations show that 73% of the thiocyanate can be derived from vicianin and prunasin, with 27% derived from β-cyanoalanine. High urinary output of thiocyanate has been associated with endocrine and neurological disorders.Keywords: Cyanide; thiocyanate; sulfate; common vetch; Vicia sativa L.; vicianin; prunasin; legume cyanogen; β-cyanoalanine
