Abstract
A. capillaris Thunberg is often used as a medicinal herb. This analysis on A. capillaris Thunberg, showing its natural ingredients and nutritive elements, is to provide a better understanding of its content and help find more various ways of use. The ingredients of A. capillaris Thunberg are as follows : 14.12% of crude protein, 4.80% of crude lipid, 2.30% of crude ash, 8.10% of crude fiber, and the rest of the ingredients are vitamins and minerals. Minerals are 3295.02 mg% of K, 2787.01 mg% of P, 1436.01 mg% of Ca, 172.32 mg% of Mg, 21.23 mg% of Fe, 18.02 mg% of Mn, 8.11 mg% of Na, 1.24 mg% of Cu, and 0.002 mg% of Sn, and vitamins are 18602.00 ug% of $\beta$-carotene and 5.82 mg% of ascorbic acid. Fatty acids in A. capillaris Thunberg are of 23.86% of oleic acids (C18:1), 46.67% of saturated fatty acids, 33.40% of monousaturated fatty acids, and 19.83% of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oleic acid (C18:1) is the most abundant fatty acid in A. capillaris Thunberg. P/S is 0.24. A. capillaris Thunberg contains about 20 kinds of amino acid. The total amount of amino acids is 1345.29 mg%, which can be divided into 79.95% of amino acids and 13.11% of essential amino acids. This 79.95% of amino acids consist of proline, tyrosine, asparagines, glutamic acid, and valine with amount of 438.58mg%, 310.20mg%, 120.30mg%, 118.66mg%, and 88.02mg% respectively. The essential amino acid is 176.83mg%. It is shown that A. capillaris Thunberg contatins various nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids, so A. capillaris Thunberg can be regarded as a highly nutritious food.
