title: The effect of extractants on degradation of L-glutamate and L-arginine in the course of shaking and filtration at low temperature.
abstract: The effects of demineralized water (DEMI H(2)O) and 0.5 M ammonium acetate (0.5 M AAc) on losses of L-glutamic acid and L-arginine in the course of shaking and filtration at low temperature (6 degrees C) were tested. The concentration of L-glutamic acid decreased by 6.3% in DEMI H(2)O and by 4.9% in 0.5 M AAc, whereas the L-arginine concentration decreased by 6.0% (DEMI H(2)O) and 10.7% (0.5 M AAc). We found a significantly (P < 0.05) higher degradation of L-arginine in 0.5 M AAc compared with that of DEMI H(2)O.
