doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6300-200922060

Abstract

Abstract:

The main components and amino acids contents in peel, pulp and seeds of fruits of Smilax china L. were determined. There were higher level of water, reducing sugars and total sugars in the pulp than in the peel and seeds, similar total acids content in the pulp and seeds, while abundant pigments were mainly found in peel. Protein, fat and starch content in the seed were higher than in the peel and pulp. Totally 17 kinds of amino acids were found in pulp and seeds, including 7 essential amino acids. The ratios of essential amino acid are over or similar to recommended values by WHO/FAO.

Key words: Smilax china L., fruits, main components, amino acid
