Abstract
Systematic fraction of mung bean sprouts was performed. As a result, proteineous nitrogen in mung bean sprouts, which comprised about 50 % of the total nitrogen, was separated to about equal amount of two fractions by dialysis against distilled water, that is, water soluble fraction (albumin) and water-insoluble fraction (globulin). Water soluble fraction (albumin) was separated to three fractions by gel-filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-200 column. Futhermore, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed 13 protein components.
On the other hand, by the same means, insoluble fraction (globulin) was separated to four fraction and further separated to 12 protein components.
