New sources of (R)-oxynitrilase: capulin (Prunnus capuli) and mamey (Mammea americana)

(R)-Cyanohydrins were prepared from aldehydes and HCN in diisopropyl ether with high enantiomeric purity (89-98 %e.e.) by using the defatted meal from capulin (Prunnus capuli) or mamey (Mammea americana) as sources of (R)-oxynitrilase.
