Abstract:
A study was undertaken to evaluate the amino acid composition of fenugreek seed and Galactomannan Depleted Fenugreek Residue (GDFR). A total of six fenugreek seed samples collected from different parts of Tamil Nadu and six GDFR (Fenumax^®) samples received from E.I.D. Parry (India) limited, Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu were analysed for amino acid composition. The amino acids content (g/100 g sample) of fenugreek seed and GDFR were arginine (0.71 and 0.71), glycine (1.21 and 1.48), histidine (2.08 and 2.41), isoleucine (0.76 and 0.83), leucine (1.53 and 1.89), lysine (1.13 and 1.27), methionine (0.61 and 0.73), phenylalanine (0.79 and 1.04), threonine (0.64 and 0.71), tyrosine (0.50 and 0.84) and valine (0.46 and 0.64).
