PROTEIN COMPOSITION OF SEEDS OF Lupinus albus

Abstract

ABSTRACT Proteins were extracted from dehulled white lupine seeds. The extraction yields compare favorably with those from other legumes. Globulins were separated from albumins and were further analyzed by ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration and cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Eight fractions were resolved, all with acidic character. Their mol wt and subunit composition were established.
