Study of amino acids of the Pyrola Rotundifolia L. and Orthilia Semnda L
Abstract
The article presents the results of study of amino acid composition of Orthilia secunda L. and Pyrola rotundifolia L. in Eastern Siberia. It was established that studied plants contain 15 nonessential and 9 essential amino acids. Concentration of amino acids in the aboveground part of Orthilia secunda L. was 55,92 mg/g, in the grass of Pyrola rotundifolia L. - 64,02 mg/g. The largest part of amino acids of Orthilia secunda L. and Pyrola rotundifolia L. are similar representatives of this class. Among nonessential amino acids content of glutamic (6,66 and 7,40 mg/g), aspartic acid (3,93 and 4,92 mg/g), glycine (2,96 and 3,43 mg/g) is expressed. Essential amino acids are represented by the following series: leucine - 4,49 and 4,76 mg/g, lysine - 4,19 and 4,30 mg/g, phenylalanine - 3,05 and 3,08 mg/g.
