A Study on the Essential Amino Acid Composition of Chlorella ellipsoidea Isolated Near Suwon

수원(水原) 근교(近郊)에서 분리(分離)한 Chlorella ellipsoidea의 필수(必須) Amino 산(酸) 조성(組成)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究) A study on the Essential Amino Acid Composition of Chlorella ellipsoidea Isolated Near Suwon

The essential amino acids composition of Green algae (chlorella ellipsoidea) that was isolated near the suwon was compared with that of soy flour and the provisional pattern of amino acids of reference protein of FAO and found that the limit amino acid was methionine. The rest of essential amino acids were distributed widely and abunduntly. While soy flour was defficient in methionine and valine on comparing with the provisional pattern. Slightly more content of methionine was recognized in chlorella protein than that of spirulina maxima which was reported to be eaten in the Lake Chard region of Africa and Mexico as a daily food. It was concluded that good quality protein is able to be synthesised from the wild alage if a qualified alage media was given to them.
