In enzymology, a prunasin β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.118) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(R)-prunasin + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

D-glucose + mandelonitrile

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is prunasin β-D-glucohydrolase. It is also called prunasin hydrolase.
