[Analysis of amino acid contents between wild plant QiBaiZhu and YunnanBaiZhu].

ABSTRACT

Amino acid contents between in the root of wild plant QiBaiZhu (Atractylodes macracephala Koidz) and YunnanBaiZhu were analyzed. The results showed that the content of essential amino acid in QiBaiZhu was 3.5 times as much as that of YunnanBaiZhu, especially the content of Arg was very rich (1.61%) and was 53.6 times as much as that of YunnanBaiZhu.
