Abstract
The results of microbiological assay using lactic acid bacteria on 18 kinds of total amino acid of the crops mentioned in the subtitle, grown in Japan, are presented. The taxonomic position of subjects conducted in this study is Leguminosae, and these subjects give an amino acid pattern differing in level of several amio acids in comparison with those of Gramineae of cereals previously reported (in Part 1 and 2), as mentioned in the followings. The pattern of Leguminosae differs in higher level of aspartic acid and histidine, and in lower glutamic acid, proline, methionine and cystine levels, from those observed in pattern of Gramineae.
