Abstract

Abstract Eighteen free and bound amino acids of three commercially packed varieties of Iraqi dates—Hallawi, Khadrawi, and Sayir—were quantitatively determined by means of an automatic amino acid analyser. The following essential amino acids had protein scores lower than 100%: phenylalanine plus tyrosine, isoleucine, lysine, and valine.
