Notes:
The amino acid composition of groundnut (Apios americana Medikus) was analyzed using ion-exchange column chromatography. Aspartic and glutamic acids were the predominant amino acids in both seeds and tubers. Other amino acids present in significant quantities were leucine, histidine and proline. The most abundant free amino acids, other than aspartic and glutamic acids, were arginine and leucine in the seeds and histidine and serine in the tubers.
