Essential Amino Acid Content

The essential amino acid content of a number of the weed seeds found in refuse screenings is reported. In terms of nutritive value the weed seed proteins are comparable with those contained in soybean, flax and rape seed. The results reported lend support to the view that properly processed refuse screenings is a satisfactory feeding stuff for the ruminant animal.

Essential Amino Acid Content

Coastal waters of Indonesia have considerable biodiversity of sea cucumbers. In the present study the amino acid and fatty acid contents in sea cucumber Stichopus vastus collected from Salemo Island waters Indonesia were determined. Results showed that all essential and non-essential amino acids were found in S. vastus. The major essential amino acid content was arginine (28651.62 mg/Kg). Whereas the major non-essential amino acid content was glycine (60907.24 mg/Kg). The total fatty acids were determined in which finding suggested that saturated fatty acid was more than polyunsaturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acid. The higher saturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acid were palmitic acid (0.07%), arachidonic acid (0.13%) and palmitoleic acid (0.03%) respectively.
