 Why in news

  • A research team at the Central University of Kerala has achieved a significant breakthrough in chemical sensing by developing a highly sensitive and selective cyanide sensor.

  • The team has created a material capable of detecting toxic cyanide at low concentrations, promising to enhance the safety of drinking water and food products.

Cyanide exposure through food 

  • Cyanide, a potent toxin, is present in various plants, fruits, and microorganisms

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) has set strict guidelines for its presence in potable water, limiting cyanide concentrations to below 0.19 mg/L 

  • Cyanide exposure can occur through consumption of certain foods like cassava (tapioca), apple and apricot seeds, sprouting potatoes, and almonds

  • The risk is particularly severe in regions where cyanide-rich foods are staples

  • Cyanides can be produced by certain bacteria, fungi and algae. 

  • Cyanides are also found in cigarette smoke, in vehicle exhaust

  • In foods such as spinach, bamboo shoots, lima beans, fruit pits
