[Determination of amino acids in seeds of genus Torreya in China].
OBJECTIVE
To determine the contents and analyze the ingredients of the amino acids in seeds of genus Torreya.


METHODS
The amino acid contents and ingredients were determined by amino acid analyzer.


RESULTS
There were 19 amino acids in the seeds of T. grandis, T. grandis cv. merrillii, T. yunnanensis, T. jackii and T. fargesii, and their amino acid contents are 9.10%, 9.90%, 5.03%, 7.26% and 6.07% respectively. There were 17 amino acids in the seeds of T. jiulongshanensis, T. nucifera and T. grandis cv. merrillii (baked) and their amino acid contents are 14.11%, 9.87% and 9.22% respectively. tively.
