Two proteins, previously described by the authors as BI (S020, buffer 12 S) and AIVS (S020, w 1.7 S) have been isolated from eight varieties of rapeseed belonging to Brassica campestris L. and Brassica napus L. species. These proteins have similar chromatographic and electrophoretic characteristics but differ in amino acid composition, particularly with regard to the sulfur-containing amino acids. One of the rapeseed samples was obtained from plants grown on sulfur-deficient soil. The sulfur deficiency produced, in the mature seed, a much reduced protein content and appeared to affect the structure of the protein BI.

The topicality. To date, the structure of the population’s diet has significant deviations from the formula of a balanced diet in terms of protein intake, including sulfur-containing, which causes the formation of risk factors for the development alimentary and alimentary-dependent diseases. For the prevention of diseases caused by protein deficiency, it is promising to increase its content in vegetable dishes due to the integrated use of raw materials and dietary supplements of high biological value. It is advisable to use food combinatorics in the innovative technologies development for vegetable dishes of improved amino acid composition. The purpose of the study is food combinatorics of amino acid composition of potato croquettes with soy flour, wheat germ; natural shrimp powder “Rieber Food Ingredients” and lentil-spirulina filling in terms of content and balance of essential and substitute amino acids and the degree of their assimilation by the human body. Research methods. Physicochemical, mathematical and statistical methods of experimental data processing with the use of information technologies, methods of ion exchange liquid column chromatography and qualimetric methods have been used. Results. Research is aimed at the use of food combinatorics and scientific substantiation of the amino acid composition of potato croquettes with the use of protein vegetable and non-fish water raw materials and dietary supplements. As a result of scientific researches the food combinatorics at development of technology of vegetable dishes has been carried out, the amino acid structure has been proved and experimentally generalized, the amino acid score and balance of sulfur-containing amino acids in the complex use of potato mass with wheat germ, soy flour, natural shrimp powder “Rieber Food Ingredients” and lentil-spirulina filling in culinary products have been analyzed. The social effect of fuller use of vegetable, non-fish water raw materials, expansion of the range of vegetable dishes with improved amino acid composition and consumer properties of potato dishes in restaurants, preservation and protection of public health has been confirmed. Conclusions and discussions. Food combinatorics was carried out during the potato croquet technology development with the use of protein vegetable and non-fish water raw materials, which contributed to the improvement of the amino acid composition of vegetable dishes and, in particular, to the increase of their biological value.

Total and soluble nitrogen, protein and non-protein -nitrogen was determined as well as the amino acid composition of the caryopses of ten rye varieties including three bred in Poland and cultivated on a commercial scale: 'Dańkowskie Złote', 'Dańkowskie Selekcyjne' and 'Borkowskie Tetra'. and seven foreign varieties characterized by a high total protein content (11.9-16.4% in dry weight). In the varieties examined the amount of protein nitrogen increased in the same degree as did the content of total nitrogen. The amino acids limiting the nutritive value of the protein in rye caryopses were mostly lysine and methionine, and in the varieties with high protein content tryptophan. The low-protein varieties had a relatively higher content of lysine, sulphur amino acids, tryptophan and other amino acids (as % of protein) than the high protein ones, but their absolute amino acid content (as % of dry weight) was lower.

The total protein of 38 yam (Dioscorea) cultivars, as tested by Kjeldahl methods, and their amino acid composition, determined by high temperature hydrolysis and GLC chromatography, are reported. Species and varieties differed in total protein and total amino acid contents. Proteins of four species, but not D. alata, were somewhat low in lysine. Proteins of all species were deficient in sulphur-containing amino acids, methionine, and especially cystine. Varietal differences, however, suggest that cultivars can be selected with more balanced protein.

We have presented a method for the extraction and isolation of the gonococcal H.8 antigen. There was no evidence of contamination by other gonococcal proteins, phospholipids, or LPS. The purified H.8 antigen was subjected to preliminary analysis and appeared to be a proteolipid consisting of both protein and lipid components. The amino acid composition was unusual; the peptide portion of the antigen was an alanine and proline-rich molecule that lacked aromatic and sulfur-containing amino acids. The overall amino acid composition is hydrophobic. A lipid constituent was also identified; it was made up of at least two lipid components, which were unique to the H.8 molecule. The chemical nature of the association of the protein and lipid is presently unknown, but it is clearly a tenacious one.

The amino acid composition of 16-hr 6N HCI hydrolysates of three qualities of commercially classified wools has now been determined using the technique of Moore and Stein (1951). In this paper the results obtained on samples of Merino 70's and Corriedale 56's wool are compared with those previously reported for Merino wool of 64's quality. The overall pattern of the amino acid composition of the three wools is similar although small variations between the wools are observed with some of the amino acids.

Amino acid analyses of mitochondrial membranes are compared with the amino acid composition of whole mitochondria (Alberti, 1964) and found to be very similar except in the cystine content. The composition of the endogenous amino acids found in freshly prepared mitochondria has been established and shown to differ considerably from the amino acid composition of membranes or whole mitochondria. The amino acids produced during anaerobic incubation of mitochondria at pH7.4, on the other hand, resemble the membrane in composition, supporting the view that neutral proteinase activity is responsible for their appearance. Aerobic incubation produces a similar pattern of amino acids except that amino acids such as proline, serine, asparagine, glutamic acid and glutamine, which can be metabolically utilized under aerobic conditions, are present to a smaller extent. The presence of large relative concentrations of endogenous taurine, cysteic acid and oxidized glutathione and the accumulation of taurine during incubation is found. The selective retention of taurine and cysteic acid within the mitochondria is established. It is proposed that the first step in the degeneration of isolated mitochondria results from lipid hydroperoxide accumulation caused by the lack of glutathione reductase in isolated mitochondria.

A preparation of hypertensin I was purified by countercurrent distribution and was shown to migrate as a single component in starch blocks at pH 9.3 and 4.2. It had an isoelectric point of 7.7. Quantitative analysis by ion exchange column chromatography showed eight amino acids in approximately unimolar proportion: aspartic, proline, valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and arginine. There were in addition two moles of histidine.
