Abstract

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is preferred by animals for both its grains, green and hay as is potential important nutrient source for animal feeding. This crop is a rich source of protein and contains amino acids. With this research, 40 genotypes, a special collection developed through the EMS mutagen, were examined for free amino acid content including aspargine, L-homoarginine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, methionine, tyrosine, leucine + isoleucine, phenylalanine. The least abundant free amino acid in grass pea seeds is proline and was found as 3.53 mg g-1. L-homoarginine gave the highest free amino acids contents was obtained at 12369.40 mg g−1. These variations can be useful and usable throughout product/variety development phase.
